[linux-audio-user] RME Multiface with ALSA 1.08

[Kevin Ernste]

Thanks Lee.  Good to know.  

My primary concern was that this error message appeared at a glance to
be related to the loss of signal in the Analog output ( "mismatch
(Line Out/Precise Pointer for control #22") and that this information
might be useful to Thomas should this issue be something other users
report with this new version.

Kevin.
