+========================================
 
 Audio functions of the Audiophile USB device are handled by the snd-usb-audio 
 module. This module can work in a default mode (without any device-specific 
 parameter), or in an "advanced" mode with the device-specific parameter called 
 "device_setup".
 
-2.2.1 - Default Alsa driver mode

-The default behavior of the snd-usb-audio driver is to parse the device 
-capabilities at startup and enable all functions inside the device (including 
-all ports at any supported sample rates and sample depths). This approach 
-has the advantage to let the driver easily switch from sample rates/depths

+3.1 - Default Alsa driver mode
+------------------------------
+
+The default behavior of the snd-usb-audio driver is to list the device 
+capabilities at startup and activate the required mode when required 
+by the applications: for instance if the user is recording in a 
+24bit-depth-mode and immediately after wants to switch to a 16bit-depth mode,
+the snd-usb-audio module will reconfigure the device on the fly.
+
+This approach has the advantage to let the driver automatically switch from sample 
+rates/depths automatically according to the user's needs. However, those who 
+are using the device under windows know that this is not how the device is meant to
+work: under windows applications must be closed before using the m-audio control
+panel to switch the device working mode. Thus as we'll see in next section, this 
+Default Alsa driver mode can lead to device misconfigurations.
+
+Let's get back to the Default Alsa driver mode for now.  In this case the 
+Audiophile interfaces are mapped to alsa pcm devices in the following 
+way (I suppose the device's index is 1):
  * hw:1,0 is Ao in playback and Di in capture
  * hw:1,1 is Do in playback and Ai in capture
  * hw:1,2 is Do in AC3/DTS passthrough mode
 
-You must note as well that the device uses Big Endian byte encoding so that 
-supported audio format are S16_BE  for 16-bit depth modes and S24_3BE for 
-24-bits depth mode. One exception is the hw:1,2 port which is Little Endian

 Due to the hardware constraints described above, the device initialization made

 device. For instance, a particularly annoying issue is that the sound captured

+In this modes the device operates only at 16bits-modes. Before kernel 2.6.23,

+
+Thanks to Hakan Lennestal (who discovered the Little-Endiannes of the device in
+these modes) a fix has been committed (expected in kernel 2.6.23) and
+Alsa now reports Little-Endian interfaces. Thus playing a file now is as simple as

    # modprobe -r snd-usb-audio
    # modprobe snd-usb-audio index=1 device_setup=0x09
+
  * Or while configuring the modules options in your modules configuration file
    - For Fedora distributions, edit the /etc/modprobe.conf file:
        alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
        options snd-usb-audio index=1 device_setup=0x09
 
-IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN SWITCHING CONFIGURATION:
--------------------------------------------
- * You may need to _first_ initialize the module with the correct device_setup 
-   parameter and _only_after_ turn on the Audiophile USB device
- * This is especially true when switching the sample depth:
+CAUTION when initializaing the device
+-------------------------------------
+
+ * Correct initialization on the device requires that device_setup is given to
+   the module BEFORE the device is turned on. So, if you use the "manual probing"
+   method described above, take care to power-on the device AFTER this initialization.
+
+ * Failing to respect this will lead in a misconfiguration of the device. In this case
+   turn off the device, unproble the snd-usb-audio module, then probe it again with 
+   correct device_setup parameter and then (and only then) turn on the device again.
+
+ * If you've correctly initialized the device in a valid mode and then want to switch
+   to  another mode (possibly with another sample-depth), please use also the following 
+   procedure:
    - first turn off the device
    - de-register the snd-usb-audio module (modprobe -r)
    - change the device_setup parameter by changing the device_setup
      option in /etc/modprobe.conf 
    - turn on the device
+ * A workaround for this last issue has been applied to kernel 2.6.23, but it may not
+   be enough to ensure the 'stability' of the device initialization.

+4 - Audiophile USB and Jack support
 ===================================
 
 This section deals with support of the Audiophile USB device in Jack.
-The main issue regarding this support is that the device is Big Endian 
-compliant.
 
-3.1 - Using the plug alsa plugin
---------------------------------
+There are 2 main potential issues when using Jackd with the device:
+* support for Big-Endian devices in 24-bit modes
+* support for 4-in / 4-out channels
 
-Jack doesn't directly support big endian devices. Thus, one way to have support 
-for this device with Alsa is to use the Alsa "plug" converter.
+4.1 - Direct support in Jackd
+-----------------------------
+
+Jack supports big endian devices only in recent versions (thanks to
+Andreas Steinmetz for his first big-endian patch). I can't remember 
+extacly when this support was released into jackd, let's just say that 
+with jackd version 0.103.0 it's almost ok (just a small bug is affecting 
+16bits Big-Endian devices, but since you've read  carefully the above 
+paragraphs, you're now using kernel >= 2.6.23 and your 16bits devices 
+are now Little Endians ;-) ).
+
+You can run jackd with the following command for playback with Ao and
+record with Ai:
+  % jackd -R -dalsa -Phw:1,0 -r48000 -p128 -n2 -D -Chw:1,1
+
+4.2 - Using Alsa plughw
+-----------------------
+If you don't have a recent Jackd installed, you can downgrade to using
+the Alsa "plug" converter.
 
 For instance here is one way to run Jack with 2 playback channels on Ao and 2 
 capture channels from Ai:
   % jackd -R -dalsa -dplughw:1 -r48000 -p256 -n2 -D -Cplughw:1,1
 
-
 However you may see the following warning message:
 "You appear to be using the ALSA software "plug" layer, probably a result of 
 using the "default" ALSA device. This is less efficient than it could be. 
 Consider using a hardware device instead rather than using the plug layer."
