Now that would be shocking I'd say. Since Suse 8.0 the ICE1712 was
always the most reliable chipset one could possibly
find for Linux. So
that would be a major regression and should be a show-stopper for alsa.
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.
