hi orm, hi list!

1)i had the same problem while recording. i modified guenter's sfwrite and put it into the ext13 dir of the cvs as sfwrite13~. my version does buffered writes of 8k at once (you can adjust the buffersize) and i get better - while still not perfect - results that way. i still think alsa instead of oss emulation would enhance pd's performance with hdsp.

2)the sp/dif (optical) inputs of my hdsp work with alsa(ardour) and oss-emu(pd). they appear at channel 17+18.i did not do anything special to make it work (my spdif-led on the multiface starts blinking green as soon as a source is connected)

regards d13b

1. does anybody have any experience with streaming audio input via writesf~ to the harddisk?

   On my laptop with RME hdsp interface and PCMCIA, audio input works very well. But if I start recording with writesf~, after a while I get dropouts. No big clicks or reported underruns, but rather subtle skips of about 0.2-0.3 seconds in the signal. Increasing the blocksize to insane amounts doesn't help the least.

2. Did anybody succeed to get input via the spdif inputs of the Hammerfall? They supposedly are on alsa inputs 17 and 18, but nothing gets in. Judging from my setup with my Mac, I somehow have to tell the Multiface to take external sync, which lights up the spdif lock led. With my linux setup that led isn't lit up which might be the reason why I don't hear anything.
