Summary:                    RME96 Driver crashes
Description: 
Something has changed in the RME96 driver between 1.0.6 and 1.0.7 causeing
it to crash. Whenever an audio program uses ALSA and stops playing the
driver hangs. When trying to start JACK, it never gets started but the CPU
hits 100%. It's impossible to kill any of the programs because any program
dealing with processes hangs as well. The system will not totally shut
down and has to be reset. Kernel 2.6.8 works just fine.

In case it makes any difference, my configure options for jack are:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-posix-shm --enable-mmx --enable-sse
--enable-timestamps --enable-preemption-check --enable-capabilities
--disable-oldtrans --disable-portaudio --disable-oss

(currently using 0.99.28)

CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS are:

-O3 -march=athlon-xp -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -funroll-loops
-fprefetch-loop-arrays -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe


alsalib is 1.0.7

still no progress. jackd aborts on different machines always (more or less
cleanly) with my rme32:

Well, OTOH my via82xx runs fine with the same command on the same
machine.

Hmm, I don't see the core of the problem. It's so dark ... I'm a little
bit lost.
