In the case of the RME96 driver, this is no error, the card works with 
slave mode active and no input signal. As stated in a previous mail, 
I'm quite sure that it runs in master mode until the cards get a signal 
to synch with. This is how RME9652 works (hardware and driver), and I 
like that behaviour, so I have that in the RME96 driver as well.
