Hi, anyone has a pcmcia rme card running? And working? With a reasonably recent alsa? (this probably applies also for the regular pci rme cards, I've had reports on the Planet CCRMA list about problems that sound similar to this one).
I have a RME Hammerfall HDSP PCI card with a Multiface unit which was working fine with Fedora 7. When I upgraded to Fedora 8 recently it stopped working properly. I discovered I could get sound out of it using aplay with a mono sound file as it seemed to send the mono input to all outputs but playing a stereo file would not play out the first two analog outputs like it did with Fedora 7(I couldn't tell where the output was going).
Reverting to the stock F7 kernel returned functionality to normal so I downloaded the source packages for the F7 and F8 kernels and had a quick peek. They both seem to be using the same upstream kernel source but with different patch sets applied. The Fedora 8 kernel source contains a ~1MB alsa patch that I imagine has something to do with the breakage.
