Could you "cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/info" (replace the 0,0 with where your 6Fire PCM is at) and confirm that "subdevices_count" is larger than 1 to confirm it's HWMIXing in the ALSA sense?
subdevices_count: 1 Lee has explained this confusion:- this card has a hardware mixer but does not do 'Hardware Mixing' in the Alsa sense! Thanks for that Lee!
Thanks. Will leave out "HWMIX" from the ICE1712/1724 card tags.
The DMX6fire has both optical and phono SPDIF connectors
Both both input and output?
Yes. The two inputs can be switch selected; the outputs are in parallel.
Thanks again, just added "RCAio" to the 6Fire.
I've for example added "ANALOGio" to every single card on the TerraTec page which felt a bit silly.
Actually as I understand it, the EWS88D is essentially digital (ADAT etc) only though it seems to have a secondary low-grade audio out for system sounds etc.
You're right, just checked the manual. I see the driver creating a 8/16-bit 8-48 kHz "ICE1712 consumer" PCM that I suppose will be the one that ends up at that backplate analog out. The "low-grade" will be fairly relative so I'll leave in the ANALOGio tag for the ES88D as well. If someone reading this knows better, please yell...
