The ALSA 'route' device doesn't cripple the card, it just reduces it to what PA is able to use. Even if PA would accept the card with its full channel count there are no PA enabled apps that could all those channels, and that's probably a good thing. Just imagine PA venturing into 'pro audio' territory - that would be a real disaster. -- FA Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal, die Sonne scheint - ein Glitzerstrahl.
