Hi,

I'm using HDMI output on an HD 2600, using KMS from kernel 2.6.37:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b3f67a0890f9878b7b3f345578e24eda0aaa59ac
The problem is that only 2ch are supported (not 1, not 3 or more). I
tested with speaker-test, it only works with -c 2.

So how can I access the other PCM channels ? There are 8 of them
available in the HDMI standard, I thought the card should be able to
drive all of them.

Thanks,
