hdsp multiface.

[Patrick Shirkey <pshirkey@boosthardware.com>]

I have this device and with the latest incarnation of the driver I 
cannot get audio out. I had it working about 6 months ago but things 
have changed a lot since then.

It will initialise and I provide an entry in /proc/asound/.

./hdsploader
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : C-Media PCI CMI8738 (model 37) at 0x9800, irq 10
Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP (Multiface) at 0xe9000000, irq 11
Upload firmware for card hw:1
Error opening hwdep device on card hw:1.

0 [first          ]: CMI8738 - C-Media PCI CMI8738
                      C-Media PCI CMI8738 (model 37) at 0x9800, irq 10
1 [hdsp           ]: H-DSP - Hammerfall DSP
                      RME Hammerfall DSP (Multiface) at 0xe9000000, irq 11

I don't have a win partition so cannot check if it is the firmware 
loading problem others have witnessed.

This device has not been flashed.

//I'm not sure how to find out the firmware revision.

This is from lspci.

00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx, Inc.: Unknown device 3fc5 
(rev 0a)

I use this command to set the mixer levels for the line out:
--------------
amixer -D hw:1 cset numid=5 0,0,16384
numid=5,iface=PCM,name='Mixer'
   ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---,values=3,min=0,max=65536,step=1
   : values=16384,0,0
--------------

This is what aplay returns but jack will connect:

--------------
aplay -f cd -D hw:1,0 file.wav
Playing WAVE '/art/1REC/020403-studio.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little 
Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: set_params:800: Access type not available
--------------

With jack I can connect alsaplayer but I get not sound from the outputs.

========================================

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
