How do you come to this conclusion?

That's a good idea given that the C400 is said to use the same chip as the FTU.

>(channels = 2, ifnum = 2).

Why do you use channels=2. As fas as I can tell the device has 6
channels. Try that.

The device probably supports only S24_3LE audio. At least that's what
you tell Alsa with the FTU quirk. Try to play something through the
corresponding hw device or use Jack or convert some audio file to
S24_3LE and play through aplay etc...

That's good. Probably we won't need to implement a custom clock source
switch for this device.

Nevertheless, I'll try to come up with a quirk that might get the
mixer working. Might take a couple of days.
