Please don't get me wrong, but I have no time to fiddle with a driver that has little or no docs. While ALSA has a similar problem of lack of documentation, I found ALSA's mailing lists more than helpful. If one can point a good OSS mailing list (other than 4fronttech's), I will possibly reconsider delving into the OSS version of the driver (at least for the time being and for particular tasks, until the OSS emulation gets better in ALSA)...
Sincerely,
You asked me about support for a driver that is free and *working* I told you that you should remove the alsa driver before you try loading the rme96xx driver, and the next thing I hear from you is that you are lamenting on a public list about my driver not working.
Maybe this made me overreact a bit. Sorry, and thank you for pointing out the problems you see with OSS, be assured that personally I think that ALSA is much superiour to OSS, but at the same time you might accept that I had very good reasons for writing the OSS driver. (which was actually not much more than changing Winfrieds driver to include interleaved mode for standard OSS apps).
