hotplug should work. this is ok.

How do you check? have a look in /proc/asound/cards if your hdsp is
mentioned there.
Does hdspmixer work?
If everything seems ok, write the following in your .asoundrc (create
the file if it doesn't exist in your home directory):
pcm.multiface_test {
type plug
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
}
}
and then try
aplay -D multiface_test SOME_WAVE_FILE.WAV
(you have to change the card number 'card 0' if the hdsp is not the
first card in your system. you can get the card number from
/proc/asound/cards)
If aplay runs fine, you can try to find out how to get sound out of the
multiface => matrix mixer settings, see here:
http://alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=RME&card=Hammerfall+DSP+9652.&chip=FPGA&module=hdsp
and/or
use hdspmixer

You don't need to use the hdsploader by hand. The firmware gets loaded
automitically.

isn't the module name 'snd-hdsp.ko'?

I don't have any experience regarding the firmware version problem as
I'm only using 'older' hdsp cards.
