just joined this mailing list yesterday for exactly the same reason: Bought an 
Focusrite Scarlett 6i6, and while it works with jack, it doesn't show up in 
the alsa mixer. As I understand, this patch should also work better for the 
6i6, so I'd also very much appreciate getting this patch into the kernel.

If you need a tester for the 6i6 device, I'd happily try a patch.
