Glad to hear :)
Sorry, don't know about "IEC958".

These 2 lines should be in your /etc/modprobe.conf:

install snd-ens1371 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ens1371 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-ens1371 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ens1371

Although those are just for storing the mixer settings.

I means that a future version could/would fix the issue. I can't advise
you how easy it would be for you to use part from development / rawhide
(ALSA and s-c-s.

Maybe someone else can jump in.
