What problem are you trying > to solve? In the first instance I am trying to configure Alsa so that I can play a sound file and direct it to the first two channels of ADAT 1, the first ADAT interface on the card. According to the article describing the HDSP card (different from mine but from the same manufacturer), there is a need to convert the sample format prior to output. Apparently these cards don't accept the interleave format and the ttable definitions are required to perform the necessary format conversion. I am not sure whether this applies to the Digi9652 card as well and I haven't been able to track down information concerning the meaning and effect of these definitions. Getting the right format to the correct output is my immediate configuration objective.
