(sorry for cross posting)

I also have problems with ICE1712 based card. I spoke with Lennart about
it. It's an known problem in ALSA, but we need someone who wants to fix
this in ALSA.

More info here: http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/624

These cards where always recommended for Linux in the lower price range.
It's sad that they don't work out-of-the-box anymore...
