following the above I decided to check I was setting the correct params 
in the matrix and it turns out that line out has been moved to numid 22 
(before it was 5).

amixer -D hw:1 cset numid=22 0,0,16384

"And out of the box came a burbling noise, white noise that is, RME gold..."

So Jed wasn't rich yet but he was almost there. At least we know that 
the latest revisions are almost functional. I tried playing a very loud 
tune and I can just make it out if I listen carefully. I also tried 
using a volume of 32768 but there was no change in the levels I could hear.

Am I right to use alsamixer to set the volume for outputs 1-8?

I'll also try with amixer just incase.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
