I'm pretty confident while this package could benefit the Ubuntu Studio project, this needs to be talked about upstream with the Alsa folks. 9 year-old bug with no activity since 2015, so I'm unsure of the status. Marking as "Won't Fix" with Ubuntu Studio simply because this is something that needs to be taken upstream.

I access to alsamixe, play sounds, run Jack in RT 48KHz. (I'm not sure it's fully fonctionnal, because in previous realease I was on Ubuntu-studio 8.04LTS with beta ALSA drivers for my card, so I can't compare). dmesg log : [ 23.220586] EMU10K1_Audigy 0000:01:0a.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC1] -> GSI 16 (level, high) -> IRQ 16 [ 23.220683] emu1010: Special config.
