Raymond I have done that. Also today I was able to test an Asus Xonar U7
but the edition of the card which is not the Echelon edition. I believe
the two cards are the same hardware but the echelon edition had
additional Windows software included and for some reason Asus decided to
change the USB name
This non-Echelon version presents itself as "Xonar U7" to alsa and
adding '"Xonar U7" 1' to USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device appears to work as
aplay -L | grep -A 2 iec958
reports
iec958:CARD=U7,DEV=0
Xonar U7, USB Audio #1
IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
I still wasn't able to play directly from it - I guess I need to do
further work in pulseaudio too. I can't test that as I only had the card
on loan but will progress this once alsa-devel have a fix for the '.' in
my own Echelon card name
