Summary:                    Support for new Prodigy 7.1 LT
Description: 
Could you please try to add support for the Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 LT, as
far as I am aware this card is essentially the same as the Produgy 7.1 but
low profile and with a couple of physical changes such as no digital in.

ALSA does not detect the card currently and when I try to load the
snd-1724 module it fails with an EEPROM error.

I have tried compiling a new kernel with the subdevice id for the Prodigy
7.1 in aureon.h changed to correspond to my device (as detailed here for
another card
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.hardware/2004-10/0340.html).
Alsa then detects the card and I can load modules and change volumes in
alsamixer but I haven't been able to produce any sound.

Hopefully support will be easy to add as this card is almost exactly the
same as the Prodigy 7.1 (and Aureon Space etc.) which already have
support.

I would be very happy to give any further information needed.

I applied the patch and although i could './configure --with-cards=ice1724
--with-sequencer=yes;make;make install' it didnt make any difference to
the error i was recieving when trying to load the module, that must be my
problem though since when I compiled a new kernel with the patch alsa did
detect my card (as Prodigy 7.1 LT) and i can change levels in alsamixer
but i can't produce any sound.  When I select the card in xmms i get
"Couldn't open audio. Please check that: Your soundcard is configured
properly ...." I'm pretty sure that I am loading the right modules on boot
and my asound.conf contains: 
pcm.ice1724 {
type hw
card 0
}

ctl.ice1724 {
type hw
card 0
}

as instructed on the alsa site
(http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=AudioTrak&card=Prodigy+7.1.&chip=Envy24HT&module=ice1724)
for the Prodigy 7.1

Have you tried playing back a wave file with aplay instead? (aplay
<filename>)
And, since there is no hardware mixing on ICE1724, ensure that no other
application is using the card (kill arts, esd, jackd, xmms etc.)

Btw. I recommend using the following asoundrc:

pcm.!default {
	type plug
	slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}

ctl.!default {
	type hw
	card 0
}

since plug can convert between audio formats
