It's true. InterWave rev B have more bugs..

From alsa-driver/doc/SOUNDCARDS:

ID: Cirrus Logic / Crystal Semiconductors CS4235/CS4236/CS4236B/CS4237B/CS4238B
SC: Turtle Beach Malibu
IF: MIXER,PCM,MIDI
MA: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@jcu.cz>

Use snd-cs4236 driver rather than generic snd-cs4232 driver to access all
features of new CS chips... TB Malibu have CS4237B onboard..
