Not really. But the ice1712 is the same chip used for the delta1010 which
has 8 analog and one s/pdif pair. I just guessed... and kept trying inputs
till I found it. I also have the USBDualTubePre and had to find out with
my Delta66... I use inputs 1,2,3,4,9,10 ...

Audacity uses the portaudio library to connect to Jackd.. so in the
qjackctl connections window and the audio tab you should see PortAudio on
the right side. Connect system/capture_9 to PortAudio/in_* (the * is a
number that changes every time you hit record) and you should see the left
meter showing audio. You may wish to disconnect whatever audacity auto
connects first. The only documentation to look for portaudio is in the
audacity setup screen where you set up jack it says:

Using: PortAudio V19 bla bla bla

If all you want to do is record, mhWaveEdit does play nicer with jack.
You can set up which ports it connects to by default. The ports stay put
from application start to finish. I don't know how the editing features
are compared to Audacity though.
