Comment 9 for bug 1110830

it seem that pulseaudio no longer support ice1712 after the introduction of profile of multi channels since the name of the volume controls are not standard name and the number of playback and capture are 10/12

if the thinkpad_acpi card can be ignored by modifying ENV{PULSE_IGNORE}="1" in 90-pulseaudio.rules

this may mean that you can add an entry to ignore your m-audio card and you can run Jack server with your ice1712

is there any reason for you to disable the onboard sound ? (seem to be a realtek codec according to the specification of the mothboard)
