First off, thank you very much for your prompt and helpful reply. It is a bit clearer now for me what the situation is. I do have a couple more questions, however and I would greatly appreciate your help.
So here are the [groups of] questions: 1) I understand now that there is no mixer. Yet, I am a bit baffled how then does ardour (for instance) control this app's output? Couldn't there be a some kind of generic mixer app derrived from the way Ardour addresses volume issue in this card? Could it be that the app only attenuates the signal sent to the output channel while the channel volume always stays constant? 2) If this is an app-specific thing, is it still possible to use apps which have multi-channel capability, but have not been designed with RME Hammerfall in mind to utilize it? How about every-day use (i.e. desktop sounds and trivial stuff like that)? Also, is it possible to write sound to the soundcard's channels just by addressing a specific /dev/dsp (or whatever its name is) device (i.e. aplay or cmixplay etc.)? 3) Jeremmy has mentioned that there is something called asoundrc file. What do I do with it? Where do I store it? Is there a way to have it set system-wide? Could you please give me the example file (i.e. one you use) so I can go from there and tailor it according my needs? 4) How do I go about changing the setting of sync being ADAT1 to INTERNAL? I have tried changing it in the asound.stat, but it gets overwritten every time alsasound is restarted, which makes me believe it is done elsewhere? I would greatly appreciate as detailed syntax as possible.:-) 5) What do I need to put in the ardourrc file, or whatever file is responsible for that (and where to store it system-wide) in order to use Ardour with my Hammerfall? BTW -- I finally got Ardour compiled from the yesterday's CVS and it is looking very nice so far :-) Could you please provide me with your possibly example-file? Thanks you! That's it :-). I apologize for the question spam, but if I get this darn card working, I promise to make a comprehensive FAQ/HOW-TO regarding this [seemingly] awesome card!
