I also downloaded the latest Envy24control (alsa-tools-0.9.0rc6), but it's 
not working for me - at least not with ALSA 0.9rc6. The VU meters work, but 
changing a slider or mute button for example does not have any effect.

And that is actually a bad situation as it seems that all outputs of the 
delta interface are set to max. volume by default. I had to regulate the 
input amplifiers of my (external) mixer to zero (!) and it's still indicating 
that the input levels are too high!!! Or is this because I use unbalanced 
audio cables to connect the delta with my mixer? (the delta 1010 has balanced 
outputs)

And another problem is the default clock rate of 48kHz. Setting the master 
clock to a value doesn't work. Clicking at 'Word Clock' decreases it, but to 
a widely too low value - sounds like 32kHz or something...

So I guess I have to wait for the next Alsa release and a new Debian package, 
cause compiling from CVS is too dirty for me.
