Raymond - thanks - not sure how to define a pulseaudio.conf file, how to name it, where it is referenced. Will have to go do some research.
Do you have any idea why the fix to USB-Audio.conf is not working? The card name from aplay-l is definitely "Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." yet simply adding "Xonar U7 Echelon Ed." 1 to the USB-Audio.pcm.iec958_device section of USB-Audio.conf does not work. Is there a problem because the card name ends in a '.'? As you say the problem is now very well defined - I just need alsa to translate iec958:x to hw:x,1 but I CANNOT make alsa do this. I will go and investigate pulseaudio but it would be good to work out an alsa fix.
