lsmod should give you something like this: Module Size Used by es1371 30128 0 ac97_codec 8736 0 [es1371] rme96xx 13136 0 sound 63136 0 (unused) soundcore 4592 8 [es1371 rme96xx sound]
So far so good - I managed to get "soundcore" and "rme96xx" loaded.
./configure --enable-rme
Also fine.
start pd *without* option -rme, e.g.
The documentation says that "-rme" is to use Ritch's 9652 driver. Isn't this what we're doing?
pd -inchannels 8 -outchannels 8
Doesn't work. It launches, sometimes gives me
OSS: requested audio buffer size 14112 limited to 4096
(are we supposed to be using OSS at all?) and then just says
Pd: system call timed out
at which stage it's essentially dead; the GUI thread is running but nonfunctional.
Specifying "-verbose" suggests that this is coming from OSS.
So I try "pd -verbose -rme" and get as far as "RME open" before it just fails in the way I described (failing to find the entries in /dev).
Aside: comment from Andreas Poegl (I think: the PD list archive is out of date so I can't see the details) about the path settings for rme96xx: nope. The Makefile is broken since (in Red Hat 7.1) the first line of version.h is now a #include, not a definition of UTS_RELEASE.
Oh, and the xrmectrl program still appears nonfunctional.
Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong? At this stage I'm thinking of completely giving up on PD as a viable option for this project.
