by reading through the mailinglist i got a little bit confusing, could sombody tell me what driver i should use now for the rme hammerfall card? i tried with latest alsa (0.9.12) but had no success with the alsa driver, only the oss emulation of the alsa driver is working also with 8 channels but only as user(not as root?? ), i compiled pd with --enable-alsa

this is what i get if im loged in as root?

[root@snd alex]# /usr/local/bin/pd -outchannels 8 couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 1 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). OSS: requested audio buffer size 28224 limited to 8192 channel 3: non-open: istate 2 != open channel 3: non-open: ostate 64 != open

as normal user its working?

[alex@snd pd-0.34-4]$ pd -outchannels 8 couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 1 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). OSS: requested audio buffer size 28224 limited to 8192

thanks for help, alexander
