That's most likely HAL not detecting the DACs correctly.
Happens with my Audiophile 24/96 too.

So you have to override HAL detection in ~/.pulse/default.pa or
systemwhide in /etc/pulse/default.pa

Uncomment following:
----------
.ifexists module-hal-detect.so
load-module module-hal-detect
.else
load-module module-detect
.endif
----------

And add following (that's one line for each definition!):
----------
load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=maudio_out device=hw:0
channels=10
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7

load-module module-alsa-source source_name=maudio_in device=hw:0
channels=12
channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9
----------

You could also blast it through jack:
----------
load-module module-jack-sink channels=2
channel_map=front-left,front-right

load-module module-jack-source channels=2
channel_map=front-left,front-right
----------

Anyways, I just played with pulseaudio.. not that I would need it in
times of dmix. And all in all, I found it to be completely useless.


Cheers,
Thomas
