I re-tried it again a couple of times. Sometimes - not always - the 
"Digital" capture device is present (but not working) right after 
loading the module. However, the next time I start alsamixer, it's gone, 
and the "capture" section is completely empty. Looks like something is 
unstable in the driver.

cat /proc/asound/version says: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver 
Version 1.0.18a. So it is nearly the same version as yours.

Weird...

Greetings,
Bernd
