I hope the patch works for you. (the kernel patch) The kernel patches seem to have worked, as at least aplay works fine. It was a long-standing but in ALSA that would unsupported mixer units make the entire sound card probe fail, and that is fixed now. For PA though, it seems the card needs a special profile, just for the fact that is has more than a stereo output and it cannot magically mapped into some 5.1 device setup. I think it would be worth thinking about falling back to a multiple stereo mapping in such cases, if no special profile can be found. Even just making the first stereo pair accessible seems like a better solution than dropping the device alltogether, right? Thanks, Daniel
