After thinking about this more, I am wondering if the appearance of the ESS1888 not working then coming right at about the 1.0.13 alsa release is an artefact of when I shifted from mainly using the PWS600au to mainly using the XP1000, and then trying out the es18xx driver at some stage, finding it works on the XP1000, but forgetting that it was on the PWS600au that it didn't work. It's in the distant past now and memory is getting hazy...
