Cool, I'll try it out as well as the new RPMs tomorrow.

Ok, I got ALSA installed and there is no static inbetween mp3s like
before which is great!  My setup is digital 4.1 but sound is only coming
from front 2 speakers and subwoofer, rear speakers there is no sound.
Also alsamixer or aumix are unresponsive as well.
