Good:
- Stereo sound works
- Microphone input works
- Clean sound

Bad:
- Volume increments are incorrect.
This makes it seem like the volume control in the GUI does not work except for mute.
In fact, it works, but the volume jumps from 0 to maximum before the slider reaches 5%.

Weird:
- Sound card is detected as a USB device

Verdict:
- Would not recommend
- I hate pulseaudio/alsa/pipewire/whatever now

Rear out works, optical and/or front (headphones) do not. Changing it to front (headphones) out in Pulse has no effect, it just continues playing out the rear.

Analogue output works out of the box, at least stereo (surround not tested). Changing settings of sound card profile over "Sound Preferences" does not seem to have any effect. The digital output is not recognized.

On Debian 10, natively supported without installing any supplementary drivers.
