No problem at all. I'm glad to get a response.
[RME HDSP RPM]
May I ask kindly for the 'other' version of the driver, which I would be happy to test?
As already mentioned by Fons, there are so many differnt versions now that I hardly remember which one is supposed to work. ;)
http://adi.loris.tv/hdsp_20111031.tar.bz2seems to be a combined archive. It contains two versions of the driver, the first (hdsp.c) is more or less what's in current alsa-driver, the other one (hdsp-test.c) is what turned out to be working for one user, so you would do
Unfortunately, it seems that none of those versions is working for me. I did as you suggested and inserted the module based on hdsp-test.c. When inserting the cardbus interface (with connected iobox), I get this:

It's seems it's not even recognizing that an RPM box is attached.
The other version (hdsp.c from your archive) gives me this, which is similar to what I get with the stock alsa drivers:

_From what I can tell, it finds the correct firmware. If I remove the firmware file, I get different messages. So the problem must be something else.
Final remark: For some devices (digiface, multiface, iirc), the firmware filename was too long. mv /lib/firmware/hdsploader/* /lib/firmware/ did the trick, but iirc, the RPM wasn't affected.
With hdsp-test.c, it doesn't even try to find the firmware, since it doesn't seem to see the attached iobox.
Is there something else I could try?
