Hi Conor,

Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately, the new design is hiding something I used to rely on. The sound card in question, an E-MU 404 USB, also offers many profiles and one of them is "Digital Surround Output 4.0 + IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output " (I don't have the device at hand ATM but it's a similar name). This profile is not shown in the new design where the card only shows 2 other profiles that are not compatible with my setup since I need S/PDIF output.

Another problem with the new design is that I don't know how to define the "default" output. Less importantly, I also miss the "off" profile for a card (i.e: to turn off built-in sound card with horrible speakers).

Let me know if I can provide more informations.
