(and this morning, I tried to build hdspmixer from alsa-tools-1.0.11 and it wanted fltk lib... tried the latest fltk lib v. 1.1xxx and v. 2.xxx something, and though configure stopped complaining, hdspmixer would compile with neither version of the fltk libs. Maybe it needs some specific earlier version? (or newer CVS version?) It complained about no such member something->fl_widget. (I can reproduce the exact message when I get home tonight if anybody here wants me to.)
Should not be required or useful (as far as I know) for the DIGI9636. hdspconf and hdspmixer only work with the HDSP cards, not the older Hammerfall cards. This is a common mistake. I make it about 40% of the time people write here...
But it sounds like I might not be able to use hdspmixer anyhow, even if I could build it.
Nope...

I imagine when I run, say qjackconnect, I should expect to see a bunch of inputs and outputs to the hammerfall? But maybe my config files (asound... ) have to be correct first?
You should not need any config files. I don't use them. There is one file which is created by the system called /etc/asound.state which sometimes is outdated by Alsa updates. If that happens you'll get messages when Alsa starts (probably boot time for you - what distro?) and the messages will say things like a 'control' has incorrect values, etc. If that happens just erase asound.state and let the system create a new one.

Will look in and see if I can help. Cheers, Mark
