It's great to even know that you are actively looking at it. Comments/questions embedded.

Buffer Size (Latency): 1024 samples (2 periods of 4096 bytes) Hardware pointer (frames): 0 Passthru: no Line out: on Firmware version: 1 Seems a bit strange, but could certainly be correct.

I had understood (some months ago) that maybe some 'amixer cset' commands were required to get an older Hammerfall 9652 to actually output audio. Is this correct? If so, does the HDSP 9652 require anything similar, as I am doing nothing like that. Again, if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
