[pulseaudio-discuss] problem with M-Audio Revolution 7.1

[matt at osource.org]

Hi all,
   I've got an M-Audio Revolution 7.1, which has an ice1724 in it.  I
can't get pulseaudio to work at all.  I've tried versions 0.9.12 and
0.9.13 with kernel versions 2.6.22 and 2.6.27, with alsa version
1.0.16.

I get this output when PA:

I've tried with and without an /etc/asound.conf file.
load-module module-hal-detect doesnt' work nor does trying to use
load-module  module-alsa-sink.

Do I need a specific setup to get this card to work?

Any help is appreciated.
thanks.
