Test the card with a simple soundapp, like #> play blah.wav ... If this works, you have at least a working card/driver ...
(iii) run PD with no driver options.
My understanding is that this will run PD using OSS, but with multichannel support via the rme96xx driver. Am I right so far?
I think this bit is the key (and I quote):
OSS: issuing first ADC 'read' ... Pd: system call timed out ...done.
if the card works (checked with the play command), then it is still possible that the open call is to slow on your hardware, ..
change in s_linux.c: oss_open_audio(..) occurences of sys_setalarm(1000000); to sys_setalarm(5000000);
and recompile, ...
The rmectrl program reports a load of stuff which looks kosher, but I don't know how much this can be trusted...
if the rmectrl works there is a good chance that your hardware works. .. There will be a day when I will find the time to improve the rmectrl program ...
TO check if the card loaded correctly you can issue a
dmesg
which will show you a short message about loading the rme96xx module ..
