My Multiface works the same way, although with the stock FC3 kernel

the meters are fine, no  -7dB levels hanging around for no good

reason.  Of course this unpatched kernel is not useful for everything

else.
On the DVD issue, I think this is just a problem with the way the

audio is being handled by these apps (no mmap, or something).  Mplayer

in particular would not work for me unless I send the audio through

the SDL plug:
mplayer -ao sdl
This works great for me for DVD's.
