YMMV,
It does :-)
In my experience "HwDep ioctl failed. Metering stopped" has been caused
by broken versions of hdspmixer (that was the case until very recently).
For Ubuntu Studio 11.10 the hdspmixer wasn't in the package alsa-tools,
resp. alsa-tools-gui. Perhaps at this times it was buggy? I had to
compile it myself.
but note that my multiface falls over just under jack, with no hdspmixer
involved... see my original post, which shows the jackd error in the
console.
spinymouse@precise:~$ jackd -dalsa -D -Phw:0,0 -Chw:0,0
is ok for my Precise and the HDSPe AIO.
If I start jack by QJackCtl, it's ok with and without D-Bus Interface
enabled.
HDSPMixer is version 1.11, it's the Precise default. I listed /usr/src,
I only compiled a kernel, nothing else, but the default lowlatency is ok
too.
I only removed the pulseaudio packages, but PA for sure didn't cause the
trouble you've got. I'm clueless. Usually I would recommend RME cards,
to get no or at least less trouble. I had to use Envy24 before, because
I couldn't pay for another card. FWIW Linux Envy24 support also is very
good, but I prefer RME.
I hope you don't need the tablet and the audio card at the same time,
until your issue isn't solved.
