 Hi Marije,
 Some precisions : the driver is not yet in the kernel tree (you have
 to compile it as a module), and I still have to add support for it
 in hdspmixer and hdspconf (hopefully soon). 
 I have no objection to move the driver into kernel tree, but so far no
 one has reported that it works with 2.6 kernels... 
... so I can report it works! (Using suse-9.2 default kernel (2.6.8),
but alsa-1.0.8). Tested so far using jack-0.99.0, realtime-lsm-0.8.5 and
pd -jack. However, by now it doesn't work with more than 16 IO channels.
I'm not yet sure if thats a jack or a driver (hdspm) issue - I'll
investigate, didn't run it whitout jack by know.
