Comment(by lennart):

 aelschuring: could you change the udev rules to match against both vid/pid
 *and* the subsystem ids? DOesn't seem right to me to check just the
 subsystem ids.

 Hmm, what's /proc/asound/pcm saying about your device? Do you know what
 device 0 resp. 1, 2 are actually supposed to do on your card? Somone
 mentioned that spdif was always on the uppermost channels even if you open
 as hw:0,0. Is that true? You said, you don't know what ,1 is good for,
 right? Do you know what ,2 is good for?

 Otherwise the profile set file looks pretty good to me.

 The mixer path can be reconfigured flexibly, too. What's the name of the
 mixer element in question?

 ianc, the big problem here is that while various cards use the same chip
 here they use it in vastly different ways. i.e. there are consumer cards,
 semi-pro and pro-cards using the same chip. Some expose different
 connectors than others, some label them differently (i.e. as in "do you
 connect rear center to channel 3 or channel 5?"). The point of the profile
 set logic here is to expose exactly what is supported in various sensible
 configurations and label it neatly.

 So, before we merge this profile set definition and activate it for both
 you your cards I'd like to make sure that the cards actually have the same
 ports, labeled the same way in the same order. Could you both please list
 that exactly here? Thanks!
