FYI: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-RME -> sorry
that you purchased a not supported soundcard, maybe you should have checked
before.

I owned and ran many PCI and PC card RME sound card, including the
Multiface II and the 9632, the Echo Indigo I/O and an Echo firewire sound
card (non exhaustive list). The 9654 is still in use in one of the Studio I
work with from time to time, with Ubuntu Studio, Ardour or Harrison Mixbus.
And YES, I did the debug for that with Ubuntu alsa packager, I even
negociate with Medibuntu that they host alsa-firmware when it was not
possible to have it in Ubuntu repositories.

You are getting stupid.

This is only your point of view. And, to be clear, I am starting to think
that this is not your field of expertise. (I will try to stay polite, as
Set asked)

Again, this is your point of view. Nobody will force you to buy or wear a
Ubuntu Studio short.
