I'm not sure what the point of your lecture was/is. But thank you for
initially pointing me to the bug-report where my "inappropriate" comments
got this bug correctly resolved. Furthermore, hopefully this means people
updating to 16.04LTS in the near future will still have use of their Envy24
sound cards.  The end result is that the problem was acknowledged, a new
build was done, and the issue was resolved.

Specifically, I can now confirm working ICE1712 cards, and associated
mudita24(1) application, on
4.4.0-6-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 16 20:32:27 UTC (*).

Working Audio:
card 0: DMX6Fire [TerraTec DMX6Fire], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712
multi]
  Subdevices: 1/1

card 3: M66 [M Audio Delta 66], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]

Working Midi:

Instead of wishing, I'd rather make things happen and get things fixed.
