I'm not sure what you mean. If you are suggesting that my FTP may be
defective, that is of course a possibility. But firstly the issues I'm
having correspond with the issues the original poster had, and secondly it
works perfectly in windows with the m-audio driver.

These two things put together suggest it is not a hardware problem with my
FTP... At least they do to me :-)

Well, intermittent means to me that it's just good enough that it works most of the time, or fails only under special conditions. But sounds like your card's probably OK. (Or there are things the Windows driver does with the hardware that the Linux driver doesn't - control register settings, work around for known-to-vendor-but-not-necessarily-documented quirk, like "Don't set bit 7 of this register".)

Not that you have this problem, but I discovered that my powered external USB2 hub induces noise when my USB sound card runs through it. No noise at all when the card is connected directly. Probably my hub (a cheap one) has grounding issues.
