Uhm... I have some problems. It was ages ago I used the analog input, 
and now when I test it, I can't get it to work at all... All I get is 
noise. Could you confirm what does work with the analog input, even 
with the new driver? I suspect that my hardware is broken...

Oh no!

Alright, I carefully ran the gamut to pin down what was broken.
Single and double speed analog playback works fine.  Single speed
analog capture works fine.  (Double speed playback fed back into
single speed capture, works fine.)  Double speed capture is messed up,
fed by either single or double speed playback.  If you need more, I
could post some spectrum displays of the breakage.

The patch is not very big, but anyway, I think my plan is to split it up 
in a series of small patches, and I send you 10 or so rme96.c, which 
you test in order, and note when it fails. It will mean some boring 
work for you, but since my hardware really seems to be broke, I think 
this is the fastest way to find the problem.

I shall also analyse the code even more closely, perhaps I can find 
something through inspection.

I'll get back to you.

OK.  That won't really be all that painful - more painful for you than
for me I think.  I'm just glad to have ducked having to do the
fiddling myself.

Now if I could just get that Waveterminal 192X working..
