I got an EWX 24/96 ... dunno if I'm using the envy24control right, but
for what I'm doing it doesn't seem that difficult.
Regarding how to play more than one sound simultaneously: I guess some
.asoundrc-magic (didn't find this documented anywhere) is necessary for
this ..
What somebody told me once here, for specifically recording from or
playing to the digital in/out, was the following entry:
pcm.ice_spdif {
type plug
ttable.0.8 1
ttable.1.9 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
}
using that in my .asoundrc I can play to spdif or record from it with a
device name like "alsa,ice_spdif" (in ecasound, that is). This uses
these two channels exclusively, i.e. while playing to spdif I can record
from analog line in at the same time.
now I haven't tried this but I guess if you'd want to play to the other
8 channels exclusively (which in the end all go to line-out) you'd have
to modify that thing above a little bit ..
pcm.channel2 {
type plug
ttable.0.2 1
ttable.1.3 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
}

OK, just tried this and it didn't work. While I can target all the
channels I see in envy24control individually with this kind of setup, I
still can't play to them at the same time, I get a "device or resource
busy" message. Darn. Probably somebody more involved with the
programming of the drivers can enlighten us?
