I had Ubuntu 9.10 with PulseAudio working fine with my Edirol UA-1EX USB card.
I know Alsa supports my card.
In Kubuntu, it appears as an option (and works) in the phonon configuration.
It doesn't appear in "kmix", and alsamixer says that it has no controls. Kmix shows my inbuilt card, and even my logitech webcam mic as a USB soundcard, but not the UA-1EX.
This means that programs that don't use phonon (mythtv, flash in firefox, etc.) don't work. Happy to do some troubleshooting/testing, but I'd really like to get this fixed!
