Just noticed this thread and wanted to add some additional info for potential future readers...
I was just able to get my M-Audio Envry24/ICE1712 sound card working in Mageia 1 under KDE--which I was never able to do in Mandriva 2010.2.
Furthremore, it even works with pulseaudio.
However, getting sound working requires that you install alsa-tools rpm and then use the envy24control. By default, the card's DAC settings are at 0 (zero). These controls do not show up in the alsa or KDE mixers any longer, however, so you must use envy24control (under analog volume tab} to set these to some reasonably high volume (I have them at max currently). Once this is done, the KDE mixer playback control "Multi-Channel I/O Controller Analog Stereo" can be used to control volume (though not balance).
