My multichannel sound interface is Digi 002 Rack, and I could not get
Audio/Midi Setup to set up multiple channel output when that was
selected. Or to work at all, for that matter. The little Digi/
quicktime whatever it is driver window never came up and the 002
interface never appeared to be connected.
When the system output is set to Line Output your file plays in Safari
in stereo.
