Hi Harry, Hi Ralf,
Thank you for the fast answers.
Harry, in fact you did not quite answer question 1 : do I have to use
hdsploader ? Put it another way, would the card be recognized if the
firmware is not ok? This firmware question is not clear for me : I fear
to corrupt the card's windows firmware if I run hdsploader. Maybe that's
completely wrong...
I agree that using amixer seems to be a horrible way to work, but I
could not manage to get anything out of hdspmixer... There is no way to
change the routes it loads by default ! clicking on the playback labels
doesn't allow to check or uncheck existing boxes.
This is why I wonder if there isn't anything wrong with my setup, namely
: would the use of hdsploader change hdspmixer's behaviour ?
Thank you
François

HdspLoader and HdspMixer are two programs that will intereact with the
RME devices: the first provides the firmware it needs to run, the
second interacts with the device just like amixer, only provides a
sane GUI :D
Basically, since the RME has a routing matrix built-in, using amixer
will provide every single control, which will be a totally horrible
way to work. Since HdspMixer provides a good way to interact with the
sub-mixes, its advised ;)
HTH, -Harry
PS: I have a Multiface 2, so my experience might be slightly different
to yours with the AIO.

I bought the HDSPe AIO in May 2011, after it was
recommended on this
list or LAD. Until today 3 1/2 years later I never could get it working
correctly using hdspmixer on Linux. To test the sound card I installed
FreeBSD first and then Windows XP. The sound card isn't broken and I
know how to handle totalmix under Windows. However, I'm only using
Linux and so assumed you should find out how to get all 8 ADAT IOs
accessible by jackd, please let me know. On my machine only ADAT
channel 1 and 2 are available by jackd.

S: Assumed you want to use a frequency > 48 KHz, then you first need to
select it using alsamixer, before you can start jackd.
