I've been using RME digi9652, hdsp9652 and the laptop interface (with 
digiface and multiface) without serious problems.

For the digi9652 I use the snd_rme9652 module (the hdsp9652 config was 
just as an example from the www)

~>lsmod | grep rme

snd_rme9652            33604  0
snd_pcm               108676  2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_rme9652

snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_rme9652,snd_pcm,snd_timer
snd_page_alloc         14340  2 snd_rme9652,snd_pcm

I don't know if dmix works on the rme cards, never tried it.
You only need the multi plugin if you want to combine two or more 
soundcards in one logic device. If you only have one digi card, don't 
use the multi definitions.

For me ttable works.

Strange.

The RME card is the first in the PC (card 0):
~> cat proc/asound/cards

0 [R15            ]: RME9652 - RME Digi9652 (Rev 1.5)
                      RME Digi9652 (Rev 1.5) at 0xda000000, irq 177


Here's a device definition in my .asoundrc:
pcm.test_mono {
             type plug
             ttable.0.10 0.1
             slave.pcm {
                     type hw
                     card 0
             }
              route_policy copy
     }

Then
aplay some_mono_testfile.wav -D test_mono
plays through the 3rd channel of the second adat output as expected.
(first adat are channels 0..7, 2nd adat starts with 8..)

Then dmix maybe doesn't work on rme cards. I don't know.

alsa: see above
jackd:

pcm.hammerfall {
        type hw
        card 0
}

ctl.hammerfall {
        type hw
        card 0
}

and starting jackd 0.99.0 with
jackd -d alsa -d hammerfall
OR
jackd -d alsa -d hw:0
WorksForMe

With multi decive definitions and newer alsa versions there are problems 
starting jackd in duplex mode. The soultion can be found on the web. But 
with only one card at a time there shouldn't be problems.
