  CH> Yes, this is more-or-less correct. A lot of people mistake sound 
channels
  CH> for DMA channels, or just plain don't get it. Here is how a SB 16 is

  CH> INPUT CHANNELS
  CH> External Sound Sources
  CH>     PC-Speaker   (Mono)
  CH>     Microphone   (Mono)
  CH>     Line-In      (Stereo)
  CH>     CD-ROM Audio (Stereo)
  CH>     Midi-in      (Stereo?)
  CH> On-Card Sound Sources
  CH>     Digital Out (Stereo)
  CH>     FM Out      (Stereo?)
  Yes. The FM out is Stereo. It's programmed throught ports 2x0h and... ¨wich
  one was the other?  :m
  CH> The INPUT channels are ALL mixed together on the card IN HARDWARE!!!! 
For

  Well... You can select wich sources you want to record from. But it's much
  better in a SB16. It has a quite nice mixer.
  CH> The input channels are then DIRECTLY linked to the output channel, and
  CH> can be head at any time. For example, enable the microphone and you'll
  CH> hear it come thru the speakers immedialte, wether you're recording or

  Wow!!!! What a message, man!!!!  The only trouble is that i allready knew
  all this. O:)  But surely there is someone who doesn't know and you have
  helped him.  ;)
