... so I can report it works! (Using suse-9.2 default kernel (2.6.8),
but alsa-1.0.8). Tested so far using jack-0.99.0, realtime-lsm-0.8.5 and
pd -jack. However, by now it doesn't work with more than 16 IO channels.
I'm not yet sure if thats a jack or a driver (hdspm) issue - I'll 
investigate, didn't run it whitout jack by know.
