Not *all* the RME stuff, but most of them.
And yes: The drivers that ALSA marks as "supported" are created in
collaboration with RME.
But I read the ALSA-homepage again and the modern stuff is not as well
supported as the classic-PCI was.
In fact, ALSA lists 2 PCIe devices to work with linux but the successor
of my beloved HDSP 9652 doesn't. My fault, sorry!

Actually, neither ALSA nor RME guarantees full Linux support for the
HDSPe AIO. It's not even mentioned in
http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Vendor-RME
so I'm surprised, you got it working, partly.

You mean 2 channels or 2*8 ADAT-channels?

Greets!
