[alsa-devel] PCI: ICE1712 -- EDIROL2496DA support

[Brian McNeil]

I've a pair of these, and seeing patches to the driver reminded me to 
bring up the subject of word-clock sync.

I've managed to get the clock-sync working sometimes; either using an 
inter-card jumper, or light pipe between breakout boxes. However, they 
do seem to go out of sync without warning, or readily-discerned reason.

I'm far from technically clueless, but driver development is 
well-outside my comfort zone. Happy to work on this off-list if someone 
wants to let me know what probing/interrogation of the cards is needed. 
Could - probably - sniff traffic between a Windows VM and the cards, if 
given pointers; yes, even if that involves building a kernel.
