It's a Terratec Dmx 6fire using the ice1712 driver as stated in the bug
summary. The card has been supported in alsa for quite some time so I'm pretty
sure it's not a driver bug. I'm under the impression the "hw" pcm device can
only be used with a sound card's native settings and since this card has about
12 channels, that's why the error occurs.

Also, if you look at winealsa.drv's waveinit.c, you'll find the function
ALSA_TestDeviceForWine does not take UseDirectHW into account and hardcodes
"hw" as the device name.
