Actually I'm able to use the card with mplayer (I discovered this just now, previous tests failed or I was probably just clumsy): mplayer -ao alsa:noblock:device=plughw=0.0 The sound is distorted though, probably 44.1 vs 48 khz thing. But that's due to the unfihished driver IIRC. Nevertheless, my previous assumption that no programs were able to use the alsa driver was wrong.

ALSA ERROR hw_params: set (FORMAT) value = S16_LE : Invalid argument This is the error probably, I'm attaching complete std.err (std.out was empty) from: pulseaudio -vvvv 1> std.out 2> std.err Also bear in mind that the internal nvidia sound card is installed too and shows itself in the log.

I know the driver is not finished, but it worked fine for me. Even recording from the analog input. Any chance you'll look at the emu usb drivers again and finish them? Thanks again for having them at all. I'll show this thread thread to Lennart Peottering from pulseaudio. Hopefully he can weigh in.
