I powered down and unplugged everything. After
reconnecting everythingand turning the (desktop) computer on, the "Host Error"
light on themultiface went out and the kernel log contained:
Hammerfall-DSP: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 30 iterationsHammerfall-DSP:
loading firmwareHammerfall-DSP: finished firmware loading
Now, when I run hdspconf and select any option (e.g. change samplingrate), I get an error
for each option selected. For example, if Ichange the sampling rate to 44.1 kHz the radio
button selection"jumps" back to 48 kHz.
The stdout of hdspconf looks like:
HDSPConf 1.4 - Copyright (C) 2003 Thomas Charbonnel <thomas(a)undata.org>This program

Looking for HDSP cards :Card 0 : VIA 82C686A/B rev50 with ICE1232 at 0xa800, irq 9Card 1

card found.Error accessing ctl interface on card hw:1Error accessing ctl interface on card
hw:1Error accessing ctl interface on card hw:1
The last message is repeated every time I attempt to change a setting,and it doesn't
show up at all until I try to change a setting. If Iclose hdspconf and run
amixer -c 1 cset numid=11 2(syntax from
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7024)
the correct (44.1 kHz) setting shows up when I reopen hdspconf.Changing the rate back to
48 kHz in hdspconf results in the sameerror, except the selection now remains fixed at
44.1 kHz.
Any thoughts on why this is happening? Is the version of HDSPConf too old?

i have a nasty feeling that ALSA 1.0.10 may have broken something here.
this is the second report of this in a few weeks. i know its ugly and
horrible and time consuming, but it would really help if you could back
up to 1.0.9 and test that.
