hi all,
i'm considering to buy a rme hammerfall dsp (cardbus + multiface) to use them with pd/linux...
but i'm a bit confused, and i know some people on this list have a lot of experiences with this setup...
i had a look at dieb13's hdsp howto, but still i've got a few questions: there are several drivers. the alsa driver, the alsa oss layer and guenter geiger's oss driver ... from what i read, the alsa driver isn't that easy to get it working (at least the howto says so). the alsa oss layer seems to work, but only with high blocksizes (i doubt, that it's working without major changes on my performance patch)... does anyone have experiences with this? and how is guenter geiger's oss driver working? it's not mentioned at this howto at all... and there always is jack ... how much latency would it take to get an audio signal from the input through jack to pd and back to the output? and is jack capable of handling 8 in and 8 out channels?
thanks a lot...
