mark - i'm not trying to apportion blame, but i would note that if you
had not updated the firmware, this would not have happened. also, i
had hoped that takashi or jaroslav would have applied the patches
already mailed to the mailing list to CVS, but they chose not for
various reasons.

i use my H-DSP almost every day, and it works without problems for
most things (you know most of the issues). the problems you have had
are unfortunate, and i regret them, but unfortunately i do not have
write access to ALSA CVS (i'm not sure i want it), and trying to
support the very confusing situation that RME have created with the
H-DSP has been hard to do (2 PCI rev numbers, 2 incompatible ROM-based
firmware versions, 2 versions of the driver-loaded "firmware", plus
the hdsp-9652 which is "a lot" like the h-dsp but has no driver-loaded
firmware and different register access rules .... sigh).

i believe that my work and now thomas's will be available very soon,
and will make the hdsp a truly phenomenal card under linux. thomas
also has written an almost-finished version of totalmix for linux
(with bitmaps from RME), and that is really impressive to see
running. 

next time you go to upgrade the firmware on anything (your BIOS, a
SCSI adapter, a sound card), its best to be sure to ask first if it
will affect existing driver's ability to interact with the h/w.
