Re: [alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/2] Remove definition for surround sound devices on ICE1712.

Note that front and surround devices does not support automatic sample conversion. Use plug:front, plug:surround40 etc. devices.

Using the correct format, front:IDX should work with two channels sound files, and it doesn't, nor surround40:IDX works with four channels or surround71:IDX with eight channels.

[I'm using IDX because I have it on :1 rather than :0]
