Hi Adam --

Thanks for the reply!  At present, I don't have an ALSA config file --
I'm using the stock configuration under Debian.  The Delta44 card
appears to be recognized with channels 1 and 2 mapping to the left and
right channels of /dev/audio.  It doesn't really matter if the channels
get mapped as mono or as stereo pairs (though I'd prefer mono if that's
feasible).

Debian did create an /etc/alsa directory with two subdirectories --
dev.d and modprobe-post-install.d, each of which has one generic looking
startup file.  I don't see anything that's specifically identifying the
ice1712 device.

I tried playing with an .alsarc file (I think that is the proper name)
some time ago, but could never get it to work so gave up and have lived
with the two-channel limit until now.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

John
