As you may know there is no way to control the input level on the hdsp, no way to lower thus to mute the input signal. So even if the input is muted, there still is audio in the buffer which gets recorded, it's just not routed to the outputs. > How do the mute buttons work?

To mute a track, you need to enable muting (global button) and then mute the particular track you want to mute. When a track gets muted (when muting is effective somewhere) all the active mute buttons (per track and global) light up. The same applies to solo. > IMO the default should be no color and when they are on they should be > red. > I copied the original app behaviour for this. If you never used Totalmix in the past I encourage you to read the Totalmix section in the Multiface documentation available in pdf format from RME's website. My plans for the future are to keep conforming to the original, and maybe add non interfering linux specific extentions (e.g. ladcca support, remote control via alsa-seq). > I also missed a control for the headphone output. > In the last row (outputs), rightmost, you have the AN.L and AN.R tracks. These are the line outs. To route signal to the line outs you have to raise the level of the line outs (AN.L and AN.R, right mouse button on one of them automatically ajusts the level of the other accordingly), and then raise the volume of the track you want, checking that the track's destination is 'Analog'. > I also found that aplay could only work at 16 bit.

Using the hw alsa interface the hdsp can only be opened using all available channels, in non interleaved mode, and with a depth of 24 bits (packed in 4 bytes). To play a 16 bits soundfile with aplay you should use the plughw interface that will convert the signal on the fly to meet the card's requirements.
