[linux-audio-user] sync problem with RME MADI

Hi everybody
I have a strange problem with a RME MADI card, the annoying fact is
that *one* time I managed to make it work properly and I really didn't
understand how, so I'm completely going crazy because I know there is
one solution.

So.. I have the card connected with the ADI-648 interface, the problem
is that:
- every audio program on the machine seems to have a wrong timing, for
example Ardour and Alsaplayer show that one second passed about every
two real seconds. On alsaplayer I can hear something "correct" only if I
put the playing speed to 180%.
- the "sync" led on the ADI-648 ("input state" secion) starts blinking
(that means there is something wrong) when ALSA starts, and never stops.
*Never*. I can unload all the snd modules. I can kill every process but
the essentials and reboot the ADI-648. Nothing. It stops blinking only
when I halt the machine.

yesterday, suddenly, the led stopped and everything started to work
properly. But I really didn't understand why, I was trying almost
everything and the solution went lost (at the reboot everything was
wrong as before).

Any idea about this? ("buy another brain" could be a good idea
but...:))

regards,
