I am not lucky enough to have one of these cards so I am not testing ALSA with the RME. I know, however, that the alsa code will not work in its current state. What is in pd .30 is just initial alsa support for 2in/2out that uses interleaving exclusively. As I understand things the RME card will not be able receive interleaved samples ever. My solution will be to add mmap support with both read/write and readv/writev - which will hopefully offer all of the performance of your native driver using alsa drivers. Any volunteers to do testing to the code when I am finished?

PS: Since the ALSA-Driver is out and looks quite well (based upon the native driver sources) its time to switch to ALSA soon.
- Anybody testing with ALSA and RME ?
