Direct sound output to USB soundcard

Hi.

I recently installed Arch on my laptop and i must admit that it was love at first sight :-)

I am about to build a music server which is going to run mpd.

Is it posible to configure mpd to output directly to a USB Sound Card bypassing any mixers and ALSA?

If so, how?

Thanks

Re: Direct sound output to USB soundcard

Sorry, but bypassing ALSA is not an option. ALSA is the system sound daemon. You run alsactl to configure what soundcard you want, and add alsa to your DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf. For more info, check out our awesome wiki!
