Comment 25 for bug 1498129

Raymond - thanks - not sure how to define a pulseaudio.conf file, how to
name it, where it is referenced. Will have to go do some research.

Do you have any idea why the fix to USB-Audio.conf is not working? The card
name from aplay-l is definitely "Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." yet simply adding
"Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." 1 to the USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device section of
USB-Audio.conf does not work. Is there a problem because the card name ends
in a '.'?

As you say the problem is now very well defined - I just need alsa to
translate iec958:x to hw:x,1 but I CANNOT make alsa do this.

I will go and investigate pulseaudio but it would be good to work out an
alsa fix.

Thanks for your help
Brian
