We have a boatload of RME Digi96/8 PADs here at RFA. We're starting to
use them in linux boxes. I'm not sure what exactly the differences
between the PSTs and PADs are, but so far it appears the PAD supports
only 1024 x 2 or 256 x 2. At least, those are the only two combinations
I can start jack with when using one of these cards.
