This is a pcmcia card in a laptop so cbb is needed :( There is no reference to msi in the pcm man page so I guess it is not available for this system. (Paul I saw a post from you on multimedia about msi in hdac and sure enough there is a reference to msi in snd_hda(4) man page). Am I looking in the right place?
