.ooops, now you are going too far for my knowledge.
If you want me to try some software with my audio 
device, let me know...All that I know is that my 
audio device is Yamaha YMH0800 and it works only

I still can't test the sound with some applications like 
xmcd because it says that there is no disk in!!!
