Good advice, but after I reealized the chip docs were right there on the 
alsa ftp the whole time, I went ahead and decided to do it right.  I put 
ice1712.c back to its original state, adding a new struct 
snd_ice1712_card_info called snd_ice1712_event_cards, and 
MODULE_DEVICES, etc.  I created an event.c (and .h) and will add support 
following suit with hoontech.c and friends.  Now, armed with the chip 
specs, I will find a way to uniquely identify the ez8 card, and tailor 
the driver to its features.  I'll post the results when finished (or stuck).

Thanks for the info!
