An exotic setup to be sure!

Quite right. That’s exactly what will occur.

To the contrary, the driver is correctly configured *for the intended use
case*. In the overwhelming majority of cases (in fact, *every* one I’ve ever
seen before reading your post) you want ASI cards configured to use the HPI
driver with Rivendell, because that’s how you get access to the advanced
features (time scaling, hardware MPEG, etc). The driver supplied with
Broadcast Appliance is very intentionally designed to disable ALSA on ASI cards
so that HPI can run, while HPI is a hard dependency of the Rivendell RPMs
themselves. That being the case, I’m afraid that Broadcast Appliance is simply
not compatible with the type of setup you’re seeking.
