My understanding was that ice1712 data format is always 24-bit 'loose-packed' into 32-bits (ie with 0's added), the ice1724 is probably the same? That is what the Terratec DMX6fire handbook also says. The chipset is 24-bit/96Khz capable.
Okay, thanks for the answer. I had already added the 8 and 16-bit tags to the ICE1712 based cards based on the snd_ice1712_playback{,_ds} structures but I just deleted them again. Just not much idea of how and what and also not sure if the 24-bit tag is meant to signify "real" 24-bit or intended to be inclusive of this "24-in-32" format.
I'll pick up an Envy card eventually and try to understand it... ;-/
Hardware mixing of 10 inputs and 10 outputs is provided. In the notes, it is probably worth mentioning Envy24control, a mixing/control tool dedicated to this chipset?
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?
The "details" text/page is currently a rather unhelpful generic text for all cards which I believe might just as well just be a standard link _from_ any card details page but with the details page itself being somewhat more card specific. Something like Envy24control would then nicely fit on it.
The DMX6fire has both optical and phono SPDIF connectors
Both both input and output?
and a wavetable connector in the front box (for use with DB50XG etc), and works fine since 1.0.12.
That connector might be worth a Tag-WaveBlaster or similar. Problem might be with growing too many tags after which people just don't maintain them. I've for example added "ANALOGio" to every single card on the TerraTec page which felt a bit silly. They should probably be added to approximately 99% of all cards but chances are slim anyone will bother...
