I guess you mean hw.snd.report_soft_formats ? I tried 0 and 1, for both
soundcards but the problems persists.

Anyway I decided to give up for now, the trick with reboot/demo works

too low probably because I can't use the nvidia AGP driver there).

Thanks for the help, at least I learned some new things about pcm!
