Now that would be shocking I'd say. Since Suse 8.0 the ICE1712

that would be a major regression and should be a show-stopper

BUT: the link points to a bug that affects puls audio and it
affects it
with a EWS88MT wich is one of the not-so typical ICE1712-cards
like the
EWX or the MAudio Audiophile and Delta-Series.
So how about these cards and alsa/jack? Any trouble out there
with
bleeding-edge distros?
my reading of this (and the related ALSA bug report) is that this is a
Pulse-only bug, because its related to Pulse's attempt to provide a
mapping of whatever-it-is-that-the-hw-provides into
standard-things-that-users-can-know-and-love.
JACK will just use the channels as single, undifferentiated channels
and doesn't care about their names, function,etc. etc.
i could be wrong in my assessment.
I think you are correct. Pulse points to alsa as the culprit, alsa
ignores the issue, it may _not_ be an issue for alsa, I don't know. The
end result is that it has not been fixed and it has been quite a while.
I have a workaround in place for my machines at ccrma...
