What's the assertion? At the very least the crash should be fixed, even
if it doesn't make the sound card work.

Limiting to the first 32 channels seems like a fine solution. The
relevant code is in src/modules/alsa/alsa-sink.c and
src/modules/alsa/alsa-source.c. If you have any questions about the
code, I'll be happy to answer those (you can also reach me in the
#pulseaudio IRC channel on Freenode).
