Well, I have one of these as well. Works fine with alsa for me out of the box 
(I have kde installed, and disabled arts, since this card supports 
multi-open, and I actually prefer to not have kde sounds... so of course I 
cannot tell about pulseaudio).

I'm not too sure if there are different revisions of this card though. My best 
guess would be to file a bug against pulseaudio [1], attaching the output of 

sudo lshw

Of course I didn't check for already reported bugs yet, worth a try as well.

Btw, my relevant lshw entry is:

P.S.: There might be even a better script than lshw to find out about alsa and 
soundcards... I'm just not sure of this.

Cheers,
