Hello.
I have sound system 4.0 consist of two stereo pairs: JetBalance jb381 and Microlab Solo1 connected to my sound card Creative Live! 7.1 24bit (ca0106).
Could you publish .asoundrc file for my configuration, please?
At that moment my sound system can play in stereo surround 4.0, but not multithreading OR can play only in one stereo pair with multithreading, BUT NOT together (multithreading and 4.0).
You are my last hope. Please, help.

P.S. Sorry for my English.

for pure gtk lightweightness + compiz/beryl friendliness you may also want to take a look at stjerm. it’s a treat with gnome, xfce, or even kde desktops

If you are a gnome user you might be better of with tilda (http://tilda.sourceforge.net/), which is in the universe repositories.

Yakuake had a dependency for several kde packages while tilda depends on gnome packages.

Beware! Both are addictive!

Just a few more tidbits about Yakuake:

1. You don’t need to press another key to make Yakuake roll up/hide. There’s a setting in Yakuake that will automatically roll it up when it loses focus, that is, if you click somewhere else outside of Yakuake.

2. Yakuake is themeable too! You can make/use/share Yakuake skins.

3. With version 2.8 beta, Yakuake now offers split views. You can split horizontally or vertically.

Happy Yakuake’ing!
