hi all!

being a little bit distressed, i want to come back to an old favourite theme: how do i get the rme-9652 (hammerfall) make work on a kernel-2.4.5 system.

alsa-0.9+0beta4-5 does support the rme and everything works fine (using aplay) as long as i do not want to use pd (neither plug: nor hw:) as wini indicated (in the midst of june) it works very fine with the rme96/8-PST, but not at all with the hammerfall (if you want i can send you various "pd -verbose" screendumps) funny, at least for me, is that pd seems to recognize only 14 channels (although they will crash pd too)

which possible solutions are there ?

1. downgrade to 2.2.x (which i would like to avoid because of my reiserfs)
2. use g�nters rme-96xx-drivers; does pd support these knew drivers

already ? do i have to hack the pd sources ?

my driver works with pd without hacking, but only in "emulation" mode, which is not the fastest version. (You have to wait for Miller to tell you more about this). I do have a native mode version though, which should be lying arounf somewhere on my ftp site, (if there is a file called s_linux_blocked, you have the right version).

I am not able to check right now, because I am on holiday too.
