Hi list,

yeah, I'd like to second what Jaakko asks for.

I did patch the current hdsp.c (rev. 1.26) with Paul's version II patch
and Thomas' spdifFrequency bitmasks fix. After some preliminary
corrections as described above, I'm quite sure that the patch was
applied correctly.

It was not possible to get the firmware rev 11 loaded. During boot the
test for iobox does not recognize the attached Multiface. Manually
loading the driver 'modprobe snd-hdsp' completely freezes the machine.

Preloading the firmware by booting into Windoze helps a bit in that
after loading Linux again and applying a certain combination of card
ejects and reinserts combined with modprobing the driver finally leads
to a stable (?) setup with sound output on the line out jack.

If you decide to post some beta version of the announced mega patch, I'd
like to offer some help in testing and reporting (if time permits, but
over the weekend there's always some ... ;-).

I'd love to see (hear!) the hdsp fully supported under Linux.

Greetings from Berlin ... Michael
