RME's HDSP line is a relatively "modular" product series, based around the Xilinix FPGA chip. RME have gotten quite good at re-programming the chip to make it do new things. none of the HDSP product series is radically different from the others, and the driver can be tweaked to support the new variants. However, for this to happen, RME needs to be reminded that (a) Linux continues to exist and RME users on Linux continue to grow, (b) to support the new HDSP products we need information. RME have never pro-actively sent myself or Thomas or (AFAIK) the ALSA project information on new products - we have to wait for someone to complain loudly enough, then I write to RME, they send me stuff. If I have time, I fix it, if I don't have time, it stays broken. I have not had time for a long time, and that's not likely to change anytime soon. Thomas has essentially vanished into the berlin meatspace; Takashi has done "maintainance" on the HDSP driver but no further developement. So I do not know what to advise you to do. --p ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
