you need to set the clock sync up. one of the two devices has to be the

text files or using the low level amixer command. i don't know what
mixer element (switch) needs toggling. i would suggest using the RME as
the master and the Alesis as the slave, but it doesn't matter much
either way.
I can't understand the way amixer behaves. The ADAT works only with
48000 but it card appears to refuse that sample rate. Or am I wrong?
Here is the console output:
projektet@arvo:~$ amixer
Simple mixer control 'Input Connector',0
Capabilities: enum
Items: 'Optical' 'Coaxial' 'Internal'
Item0: 'Optical'
Simple mixer control 'Loopback Input',0
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [off]
Simple mixer control 'Sample Clock Source',0
Capabilities: enum
Items: 'AutoSync' 'Internal 32.0kHz' 'Internal 44.1kHz'
'Internal 48.0kHz'
Item0: 'AutoSync'
i would just leave it at this setting. it will sync with the ADAT as
long as the sync source is the ADAT connection (and not a S/PDIF one,
for example).
the behaviour does seem mysterious. it looks like a bug in the driver.
