Thank you for confirming this issue still exists, despite "fix committed,"
and that it also disables correct functioning of package 'mudita24'.

Characterizing #12 further (via 
" for i in linux-image*.deb; do dpkg --contents $i | grep snd-ice1712.ko ; done 
"),
I notice the presence of the ice1712 module in rc7 
  /lib/modules/4.4.0-040400rc7-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1712.ko
by rc8, it has gone missing. It continues missing in the 4.4.0 release and 
4.4.1 as well.

snd-ice1712.ko is *not* present in the 4.4.0 or 4.4.1 lowlatency kernels
as discussed in #5, #6, #7. Therefore no "ICEnsemble ICE1712 (Envy24)"
cards will work, even, with low-latency kernel.

The file is present in wily 4.3.0 and 4.3.5 kernels:
 /lib/modules/4.3.0-040300-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1712.ko
 /lib/modules/4.3.5-040305-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1712.ko

And though absent in 4.5.0 RC1, the file reappears in the latest RC4
 /lib/modules/4.5.0-040500rc4-generic/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1712.ko

Question: When/where will a 4.4 release become available with at least
some collateral damage, such as the "ICEnsemble ICE1712 (Envy24)" listed
in the bug description, working again? Many of the other listed PCI
cards are no-longer used or needed. However, the "Envy24" cards are
still used by those doing music or media production in Linux because
they have unique features -- in particular, extremely low-latency, and a
built-in 20-channel 36-bit wide hardware digital audio mixer:
