Replying to [comment:2 lennart]:
> Also, please don't use the bare hw:xxx devices. Access the card via the
high-level "front:xxx", "spdif:xxxx", "surround71:xxx" device strings
instead.
I would, but there is no surround71 device for this card and not a single
device that maps to hw:0,2. What would be the difference between front0
and accessing hw:0 with 2 channels?
> Could you please retry with 0.9.16-test4? Some drivers seem to have
issues with the order in which buffer/frag size is configured. This is
turned around in test4.
Yep, seems fixed: it also adds more profiles (digital surround IEC), but
still only spdif profiles. module-alsa-sink also appears to work, but it
configures 10/12 out/in channels even though the load-module line says
channels=8. Using device front:0 (without a channel map) gives me the same
10/12 channel options.
> Finally, for cards that have multiple independant outputs or multiple
independant inputs 0.9.16 now introduces the ability to define the set of
exposed profiles via config files. Please read up on this here:

/profile-sets
Quite some text. I'll see what I can find and let you know. One question
immediately comes up: where should I put this configuration? In a new file
in /etc/pulse, in ~/.pulse? Do I need to load-module it manually, or will
it be auto-detected based on extension or filename?

You're right, technically it's not a crash. But PA failing to initialize
the sink and exiting cleanly still has about the same result...
