Comment(by lennart):

 Sorry, but what can I say: creative cards are actually very cheap in their
 design. e.g. to implement surround sound they put several stereo-chips on
 a board requiring software to split up all multichannel PCM data into
 seperate 2ch streams in software. Almost all other hardware that some
 folks would consider 'cheap onboard' stuff gets that part right. With
 Creative there is a lot of propaganda for surprisingly little actual
 value.

 Sorry, I forgot to mention that you need to pass the device name on the
 command line of a-t-t, the wiki has been updated accordingly.
