[linux-audio-user] alsa hdsp and oss emulation

[peter plessas]

Hi Thomas, dear List

here we go:


dmesg | grep Hammerfall:
ALSA 
/usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:775: 
Hammerfall-DSP: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 30 iterations
ALSA 
/usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:5059: 
Hammerfall-DSP: couldn't get firmware from userspace. try using hdsploader
ALSA 
/usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:5066: 
Hammerfall-DSP: card initialization pending : waiting for firmware
ALSA 
/usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:775: 
Hammerfall-DSP: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 30 iterations


Manually running hdsploader gives:
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : PowerMac Screamer Rev 0
Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0xf3000000, irq 58
Upload firmware for card hw:1
Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error.


cat /proc/asound/version:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.9rc1.
Compiled on Mar 20 2005 for kernel 2.6.11.5.


The alsa-drivers are modules, the firmware_class is a module too.


lsmod | grep hdsp:
snd_hdsp               64548  1
firmware_class          9664  1 snd_hdsp
snd_hwdep               9892  1 snd_hdsp
snd_pcm               115140  3 snd_hdsp,snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss
snd_page_alloc          9988  2 snd_hdsp,snd_pcm
snd_rawmidi            27424  2 snd_hdsp,snd_seq_midi
snd                    71264  18 
snd_hdsp,snd_hwdep,snd_powermac,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device


The only thing i find is the "couldn't get firmware from userspace' line 
as a hint.

regards,

Peter
