Hi all - just saw this - I have an HDSP 9652 - it's working pretty good - let's see if I can help out (conjuring from memory) - sorry if I'm redudant, I haven't read close enough to know what all's being repeated, plus I think I've missed a chunk of the thread...
I had to do two things - first, I had to downgrade the firmware using a Windows machine to - oh crap come on brain, remember - 10 from 11 - oh gosh I think - (I'll copy Mark Knect on this he'll remind me)
then, applied a patch by Thomas C. to the ALSA build - I've been running fine ever since - I believe, also, that said patch is now unneccessary upon upgrading to the latest CVS of ALSA, because Thomas applied it.
What I don't know is whether the firmware downgrade is still necessary, but I think it is - I haven't heard anything about that being fixed
Also, Thomas wrote versions of hdsploader and hdspmixer that work better - with the 9652, only his hdspmixer 1.3 will work, not his hdspmixer 1.1
also good to note is getting the HDSP 9652 to work is a bit different than other very similar hammerfalls, like for example, if you're working with a multiface, or a pcmcia version, or something...the alsa drivers are slowly getting hammered out so this isn't such a pain, so life should improve on this (it may have already)
If anyone needs that patch or help or whatnot, let me know (I'd attach it now, in fact, but I don't have it on this computer) - between me and Mark K. and Thomas C. (who may or may not be very available) I'm sure we can provide more assistance...

I've got 0.9.8 installed; it doesn't "find" the card. 0.9.4 "finds" it OK then crashes the machine when I try to read/write audio. Someone asked on the Alsa list about this a few months ago and I never saw a
reply...

I don't have the card, but I am sure that the latest alsa drivers are
more
(or at least as well) up to date as the ones in the kernel. I would try the 0.9.8 first, before switching the kernel.
