I think the PCM capture source is listed among playback controls for Asus U7 too, so this might be a non-card specific issue. Unfortunately I don't have it nearby so I can't verify.
I couldn't get digital in/out on my U7 either, is it working for any usb sound card?

Hi ALSA folks,
feel like an amateur around here. Anyways, I got this USB sound card named "TRIXES External Sound Card USB 6 Channel 5.1 Audio"
Looks like so: http://www.amazon.co.uk/External-Sound-Card-Channel-Audio/dp/B003TO3KHY/ref=...
Here is the alsa-info.sh output (yeah on a machine with hardwired HDA in it too, sorry): http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=f52ce9edc11918d70bc0f230f3cbd5f984bea5b5
The lsusb -v output is in the end of the mail, too.
This is a 0d8c:0102 "C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM106 Like Sound Device" Actually, and according to the drivers on the CD that comes with it, this is a CM6206-based card.
It seems like a nice and cheap 5.1 card actually. But I wanted to use the digital S/PDIF (IEC958) input/output and that does not work at all.
It appears very nicely in the pulseaudio UI thing in GNOME, one output/input for analog line and S/PDIF respectively.
First problem: running alsamixer -c <card> the "PCM Capture Source" appear in the Playback controls. This seems like a bug, selecting "IEC958 In" with the arrow keys work fine. "Line" and "Mic" work fine too.
In the Capture controls, S/PDIF appears as mutable but without any input level setting, I guess this is normal for digital in.
Anyways: no samples go out on the digital out and no samples get taken from the digital in. The endpoints are just dead. With an S/PDIF device listinging on the out line, it says "no signal" and I have tested the same equipment with the S/PDIF out on my HDA audio card and that works just fine.
Since the CM6206 has that quirky quirk in usb/quirks.c that set up it's internal registers to work as expected there is a CM6206 datasheet on the web these days and it says interesting things like it needs bit 15 set in the first control register to use S/PDIF as master and also has to set the output frequency in the next three bits (etc etc) so unless someone is onto this already I'll just start hacking at it.
Since Eric was patching this relating to S/PDIF I was under the impression it was working for him though?
Anyways,
Yours, Linus Walleij
