I'll hadd specific support for the 925 i in the next snap. Right now I am fighting with the opti chipsets, thoug, since the 931 behaves much differently from what the data sheets say, and I hope the 931 is not as different. > It would be nice if MSS (16 bit) was chosen as the default for these > compatibles or have an option to set it because SB Pro is only 8 bit sound. the 931 has a MSS codec inside; the 925, on the other hand, seems to have only a SB codec, so you cannot have MSS but only SBpro/SB16. However it is not true that the SB is 8bit; it is half duplex (or messy full-duplex, with one 8-bit chan and the other using 16-bit(.
