Greetings!

I just got hold of an M-Audio Revolution 7.1 and decided to start 
playing around with it.  I've got the latest CVS of ALSA and 
AlsaPlayer installed and I can successfully get sound of the card.

I'm having some trouble, however.  I read that the Revolution has a 
pure 24/192 signal path from start to finish, and that madplay can 
take advantage of this.  I tried running madplay with the 
'--bit-depth=24' option but it told me that the card couldn't handle 
24 bit output, and that it was dropping back to 16.  Did I miss 
something?
