I've tried both. At the moment I have the pci card in a 32-bit system running FC4 with a recent 2.6.12 kernel and alsa from 1.0.10rc1, including alsa-tools-1.0.10rc1. The error is: Hammerfall-DSP: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 30 iterations Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error. Orm, on the PCI and PCMCIA systems that DO work, what kernel and what alsa revs to you have? Is the only difference between "works" and "doesn't work" the PCMCIA card? Or is this on different systems/kernels/alsa? Are you also getting an "Hwdep ioctl error?" Or a different ctl error? It seems to mee something between the kernel dependencies and alsa has changed recently, but I'm at the edge of my capability on this.
