I'm trying and totally failing to get PD working with a Hammerfall 9652.
(System: Red Hat 7.1 - kernel 2.4.2. Using the PD 0.33P2 RPM.)
The rme96xx module doesn't install cleanly. "make install" seems broken due to a macro fault in the Makefile:
install -m 644 rme96xx.o /lib/modules/#include <linux/rhconfig.h>/kernel/drivers/sound
/bin/sh: linux/rhconfig.h: No such file or directory
I copied it by hand, but got complaints about unresolved symbols when doing a modprobe/insmod. Sometimes it seems to work, sometimes it refuses, sometimes it complains "No such device". The docs claim that this module release is compatible with this kernel version.
The rmectrl program doesn't seem to work either: the X11 version shows lots of options but they can't be changed. In fact, they're also wrong: the card is shown at 48KHz when my Roland desk has clearly locked to it at 44.1.
The ALSA support in PD doesn't match that which comes with Red Hat 7.1 so I get:
warning: Pd compiled for Alsa version 0.9 appears to be incompatible with
the installed version of ALSA. Here is what I found in /proc/asound/version:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 0.5.11.
Compiled on Aug 27 2001 for kernel 2.4.2-2 with versioned symbols.
snd_pcm_open (input): Sound protocol is not compatible
snd_pcm_open (output): Sound protocol is not compatible
audio I/O stuck... closing audio
Tried building PD from source, specifying --enable-rme. So tried "pd -rme" which gives:
RME9652: failed to open /dev/rme9652/C0da1 writeonly
RME9652: failed to open /dev/rme9652/C0ad1 readonly

audio I/O stuck... closing audio
Where do the /dev entries come from? MAKEDEV doesn't know about them. Does this require a kernel build?
(Aside: PD's "make install" is broken if /usr/local/include doesn't exist; it creates it as a plain file and breaks gcc.)
Built with ALSA 0.5x, PD gets are far as trying 1 input/1 output and then just gives screeds of file descriptor error messages.
Would someone please try to persuade me that I'm not just completely wasting my time? -=- MIME -=- This is a multi-part message in MIME format
