I'm afraid the problem persists with v2.6.12-rc5 and
kdetv 0.8.7 (ALSA in the kernel, KDE 3.4, gcc 3.3.5,
Gentoo).

In the configuration dialog of the ALSA Mixer Plugin
I can select "Audigy 1 or 2 [Unknown]", but it doesn't
come up with a list of mixer elements. KMix works
fine, however.

Looking at the kernel changelogs, there have been a
lot of changes in the emu10k1 driver (for Creative
cards ranging from SBLive to Audigy 2) in rc1 and
rc2, notably a new chip detection scheme that also
includes the aforementioned new ID string. There
have been no further emu10k1 or ALSA changes in rc4
and rc5, however, so if it's a kernel bug, the
developers seem to be unaware of it.
