As I have said in the initial reports, this symptom was not present in 8.10
alpha 4 when I tested it on the live cd.
However I must stress that since filing this as a bug I have discovered that by
installing pulse-audio and adjusting some of the settings the sound card can be
made to work in ubuntu 8.04, although still only with 'advance mode' set to
'off' on the device (info found from pulse-audio wiki).
(There are still some oddities with it that I have not solved; with all
the devices set to 'usb audio' in the system-preferences-sound window
the system sounds don't play, and with them set to 'autodetect' they do
play but I have problems using skype)
I would need to try the 8.10 live cd again to double check whether this
version works with the 'advance mode' set to 'on', but if I remember
correctly it did. Certainly 8.10 seems to detect and use the soundcard
automatically with none of the tweaking that was needed in 8.04.

Status in “alsa-lib” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I have a Linux-supported Edirol UA-25 USB sound device.
I plug the device in, Linux recognizes it correctly.
I select System -> Preferences -> Sound
I am confronted with a mystifying Sound Preferences window.
Everything possible is set to auto. The Edirol shows up under Default
Mixer Tracks Device as "USB Audio." It is also selectable uder each of
the (far too-many) drop downs above.
Even if I select it, I can test it, it works, but I cannot for the life
of me figure out how to get any programs, be it Audacity, vlc, Totem or
anything else, to actually try to spit sound out to the Edirol. Worse:
If I reboot, the UA-25 might get picked up as another USB device and all
of the carefully set options are lost.
Under Mac OSX, I have a simple couple of windows: One selecting Input
Device, one selecting Output Device. That's it. I'd like something
similar under Ubuntu. If all apps are set to use Alsa and you set the
card in alsa and have the system restart Alsa, I don't see why this
should be impossible.
(Oh, and the dialogs should identify the card as an Edirol UA-25, not
just "USB Audio".)
Sorry, this is a bit wordy.
