Hi Conor,

No, unfortunately I still don't have access to the laptop in question. I
hoped the Lucid listing was enough ... I'll do my best to get you the
list from Precise but that won't happen this week.

Indeed, this one looks like what I need : 4.0 output and IEC958.

IMO that was not cluttering the interface too much. I'll miss it but
that's not a big concern.

IIUC, selecting (highlighting) a card and closing the GUI window makes
the selected card the default device ? If that's how it works ATM I
think that's not a very explicit way to assign a default card.

Yes it did.

I really appreciate the time you spend on this, thanks.
