How do other multi-channel pro audio cards work with pulseaudio?
Is only ice1712 affected?
I only have experience with m-audio delta cards.
m-audio delta cards are ice1712 cards.

To clarify, I meant to ask if chips, other than ice1712 are affected.
Big multichannel rme cards are also affected (obviously). In those cases
the workaround I have to deltas did not work (too many channels?)
On the other hand, I _think_ (but I'm not positive now that I think
about it) that the 8 channel gina/layla3g worked fine, I would have to
test again.
Given that PA aims to be a desktop audio server catering for
the 'standard' formats such as stereo and 5.1, it really can't
be blamed for not knowing what to do with a card that presents
N (N>= 8) identical channels. And I'm somehow surprised if
users of such cards (who probably use Jack anyway) expect PA
to handle this OOTB. The obvious solution for them is to use
the PA<->Jack bridge which is reported to work well.
Ciao,
So, Pro Cards were not intended for desktop audio.
In the end they are just computer devices that output sound, which we
all expect them to do.
