Thanks very much for your reply, Ralf.
This could be very useful once I get arch linux going (at this stage 
can't get it to even boot !). arch linux has been suggested to me as 
possible solution to below.

The possible issue with PulseAudio experienced (stuttering audio) is 
using Suse 11+, or recent Ubuntu or Redhat. Any alsa 1.0.18->1.0.28.
The issue with only 4 outputs, but all 32 inputs, working is under Suse 
10 with alsa 1.0.15 added afterwards. At least this setup mostly works.

If someone is aware of any RMS driver problem that was fixed relating to 
multiple outputs after driver 1.0.15 that'd be helpful to know.
