Hi folks,
So I'm trying to ween myself off windows and get my hardware running under linux.
Everything is go now, with the exception of my hammerfall dsp. The alsa driver is still a little "experimental" as the euphemism goes... but when I do get it running I can get it to make sound with aplay. However, I can't get it running with pd. I haven't been able to make much sense of the asoundrc format yet, so my asoundrc just sets up some aliases for the hdsp (which is card 1 in my system, card 0 is the built in sound).
From what I understand, the direct rme driver works only on the 9652 and
9632, not on the hammerfall dsp series, so alsa is the way to go.
I've tried pd -alsa -alsadev hw:1,0 and pd -alsa -alsadev plughw:1,0 but both fail in a blaze of errors.
pd seems to try to open lots (10?) channels even when I specify fewer with -channels.
Can anyone point me to the right solution? and for bonus points, Does anyone have a commented, non-trivial asound.rc that I could scour to help me understand that format?
Many thanks, Daniel
