 I understand that this is probably one of the most difficult cards to
 support, but since some update after 0.9.15 completely broke the card I'm
 filing an official request :)

 I have been using PA since 0.9.10 (first Ubuntu, now Debian), and have
 never really have issues with it apart from me having to manually
 configure my device:

 load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=ews88_out device=hw:0 channels=8
 channel_map=left,right,aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5

 load-module module-alsa-sink sink_name=ews88_system_out device=hw:0,2
 channels=2 channel_map=left,right

 module-hal-detect doesn't work because it will only recognize the s/pdif
 output, and that is exactly the one I don't use.

 The current issue I'm facing is that since Debian release 0.9.15-4.1, the
 above module-alsa-sink lines no longer work, and PA crashes at startup.
 When I remove the module-alsa-sink lines and enable module-hal-detect, PA
 starts but only offers the auto-null sink. The same behaviour is displayed
 by
 0.9.16~test2~20090726git59659e1db-1 from Debian experimental. Version
 0.9.15-2 is the one I'm currently using and that still works.

 I filed two debian bugreports but I don't think they ever made it here:

 http://bugs.debian.org/529290 -- missing profiles

 http://bugs.debian.org/540388 -- no sinks


 Information about the card: this card has three independent audio devices
 that can be used simultaneously:

   hw:0,0  8-channel In and Out

   hw:0,1  2-channel s/pdif In and Out

   hw:0,2  2-channel Out
