Hello!
I use the Creative E-MU 1616m PCIe:
03:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value Subsystem: Creative Labs Device 4007
I am on Linux kernel 3.2.4, -driver and -firmware from git; -utils from 1.0.24.2-5 (Debian amd_64).
I have manually applied the patch from [1] and initialized the device successfully:
[ 3.387211] snd_emu10k1 0000:03:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 3.387341] ALSA emu10k1_main.c:823 emu1010: Special config.

There are irregularities & limitations, but I do have 48kHz capture and playback.
I have two questions:
1.: I only use Dock ports, and I notice many irregularities in DAC and ADC assignment; so I wonder: should
/usr/local/lib/firmware/emu/micro_dock.fw
not also be loaded?
2.: I use JACK with
input: hw:0,2 (Mutichannel Capture/PT Playback) output: hw:0,3 (Multichannel Playback)
One thing that I would like to fix if at all possible: I can not assign anything to Dock Phones L/R; instead they always repeat Dock DAC 1L/R, no matter what I route there.
Is this a limitation of the firmware, or are the controls misleading me?
Kind regards & thanks in advance for any suggestions, Tilman.
