Finally there is another solution to get pd working with ALSA,rme multichannel, by applying the patch for the jack audio server, .. well, .. just to have it mentioned once here on the list.
Which patch? Where? How?
It can be found on the jack devel list, forgot the URL. I would not recommend it for doing important performances though, as it is in early development, thats probably why almost nobody on th pd list knows about it.
I took some time looking at pd's alsa code, and from that it is pretty obvious why the RME card doesn't work, because non-interleaved mode is not supported. I would recommend to use my driver and just wait until pd's alsa support gets fixed.

Please answer a.s.a.p. as I'm preparing a performance of a multichannel interactive piece for the end of the month in N�rnberg. The rehearsals with the dancers start in 1.5 weeks and realizing it with pd would save the hassle of coding in Max/MSP, renting i/o cards for the Mac and such just for this performance, as in the long run I'll do it with pd anyway. We already have a running system with the rme Hammerfall card (on which Jmax already runs multichannel).
