1) Has anyone been successful using a PCIe bus to PCI adapter with an ASI

PCIe slots.
I didn't know such a tting existed. How does it physically fit in the
available space ona typical PC?
I bought an ASI5810 card for one of my clients, but can't get it to work
under CentOS 7. It does work under Windows, so I know there's nothing
wrong with the card.
I've a feeling it would work if I compiled Rivendell and the ASI HPI
driver from source, but that's not an option for this client. If it won't
work with the standard Paravel CentOS 7 install, he doesn't want to use
it.
2) Is there a way from a terminal to see if the system is seeing an ASI card?
It doesn't show up as an audio interface in Rivendell but that could be
hardware not there or drivers not installed.
I get a message early in the boot process to the effect that the card
isn't being detected. I can't remember the wording, alas, and it flashes
by pretty quickly.
3) Does the Paravel Broadcast Appliance have the HPI drivers already
installed as part of the package or do they have to be loaded separately?
The driver is installed with Rivendell, but it's a version that ASI claims
is not compatible with the latest cards. If yours is a PCI card, though,
it's probably old enough that this shouldn't be a problem.
Lately, I am finding ASI cards to be a major pain in the butt. There are
some older cards that aren't supported by newer drivers, and some drivers
require a minimum Linux kernel version that rules out CentOS 6, which is
what I have to run on one particular system because it has a piece of
hardware that more recent OS versions don't support. I am starting to
wonder if ASI is more trouble than it's worth.

A couple of questions.
