Wouldn't defining all the appropriate ALSA symbols in ~/.asoundrc take care

My solution to these and other problems is to uninstall pulseaudio:

FYI -- I have two computers, mine with a plain Delta-66, and my son's with a

Delta-66 "Omni Studio"  ... I think they're great, but they're also

 "obsolete" (which means they work and don't require endless futzing). The

newer generation might be better but not as reliable

http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Ice1724 (e.g. ESI Juli@ & Maya44 &

Audiophile 192) in terms of latest-technology A/D and D/A, and supports 192K

samplerrate). The thing i like most about the Delta 66 is envy24ctrl

( alsa-tools-1.0.22-1.fc12.x86_64 ) and the ability to route inputs,

outputs, and digital mix 4 analog and 2 spdif channels entirely on the

card:

The thing that's a complete showstopper on the Audiophile 24/96 is the lack

of balanced I/O. You gotta use Balanced I/O into and out of a computer, with

unbalanced connections through "telescoping shield" technique (

http://www.mhsecure.com/technotes/v5MixerOverview/Telescoping_Shield.png

) unless

you like having your sound all fuzzed out by ground & clock noise from the

computer. This works well with the Delta 66 since it appears to have a

reasonably well isolated  analog and digital ground-planes on the card...
