Florian, why can't you answer his technical question with specifics? What in ALSA prevents professional use? There is a culture out there that 'worships' whatever professional means without ever defining it. It is elitism and in a technical forum unforgivable. Lets leave culture out of driver discussions ok? I asked for information about how to make the AIO work in ALSA and I have received ZERO useful information and instead got discouraging and arrogant responses. I feel like I am being neutralized here. The soundcard matrix contains no entries for the AIO, so one can only conclude ambiguity.
I am willing to try and help, but without useful information it is difficult to proceed.
The HDSPe hostcard works great with the multiface. I am working on the assumption that if the card can be identified differently, there will be a similar level of functionality. There is also the benefit of hdspmixer and hdspconf, both which work fine with HDSPe hostcard and multiface. If there is a reason this is not appropriate, technically, that can be validated I would like to hear it. Otherwise if ALSA and the operating system can be adjusted to load the snd-hdsp module instead, I would like to know how to make this accommodation and how to compile ALSA to make this possible. I have great hopes for a snd-hdspm module that will support all the new gear, but that may never happen. In the meantime, I think it is acceptable to use the existing module even if it is not perfect. If perfection were a requirement ALSA would not have gotten very far and neither would science.
So again I will try and ask the experts of ALSA development how to make these accommodations.

Demian,
The Trinnov room correction system which is a pro market product uses Hammerfall cards and Alsa to do some very ambitious pro audio functions

It is nice if everything works out for you. But there are other people who need different things.
