[linux-audio-user] Quattro Situation

Okay Patrick... more headaches for you maybe?

I finally bought a Quattro.  All seems fine except I can't read/write to it.  
I assume it has something to do with this 'initialization' problem Takashi has 
mentioned, but I'm not sure.  I'm really hoping to get this working soon so I 
can include it in the next Mandrake Audio HowTo blah blah.

I used Patrick's .asoundrc, and the module loads fine.  Everything that one 
expects shows up in /proc/asound.

[root at gamma373-165 austin]# ls /proc/asound
card0/  cards  devices  modules  oss/  pcm  Quattro@  seq/  timers  version

But I can't seem to use it:
[root at gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: No 
such device
snd_pcm_open: No such device (default)

qinit seems to segfault:
[root at gamma373-165 austin]# ./qinit
Initialising quattro
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Then nothing works:
[root at gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer -d Quattro
ALSA lib pcm.c:1908:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM Quattro
snd_pcm_open: No such file or directory (Quattro)

[root at gamma373-165 austin]# alsaplayer -d q4
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1055:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: No 
such device
snd_pcm_open: No such device (q4)

[root at gamma373-165 austin]# aplay -D Quattro apathetic.wav
ALSA lib pcm.c:1908:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM Quattro
aplay: main:484: audio open error: No such file or directory

BTW, this is Mandrake Cooker (gcc 3.3.1, alsa 0.9.6, glibc 2.3.2, linux 
2.4.21.6mdk).  Any help at all is appreciated.

Thanks,
Austin
