Here is some follow-up....
First of all, when I unload and then reload snd-hdsp the card is no
longer found, even though it remains listed on lspci.
Fedora 8 initializes the hdsp upon bootup. The card works properly.
However, hdsploader returns "device busy" error.
I can boot fedora 8 and load the firmware, then reboot into fedora 12
and the multiface appears to remain initialized. hdspmixer crashes
however. BUT, if I run the version of hdspmixer found in my fedora 8
install, it runs and all seems to be working. The hdspconfig works
properly by the way. the hdspmixer is version 1.6 in both fedora 8 and
12 installations. Of course the alsa versions are different. My fedora 8
install uses 1.0.16-1 and fedora 12 is using 1.0.22-1. I must conclude
that there is a problem with alsa 1.0.22-1 as packaged in fedora 12 in
my situation (64-bit quad core intel system)
That's my report.....any help from the community is GREATLY appreciated!

Hi all,
I am testing fedora 12 on my 64-bit system using Planet CCRMA
repositories. Everything boots and runs (even RT kernel) except my
multiface II. On Fedora 8, the Multiface generally initialized at the
udev phase of bootup. I say "generally" because at times it doesn't
initialize, requiring several power off cycles. Interestingly, once the
firmware is loaded by FC8, if I then boot into FC12 (I have it set up as
a dual boot system in order to maintain my working production system),
hdspmixer crashes (although hdspconfig works). It seems that the FC8
firmware remains loaded (perhaps an older version of the alsa firmware).
When I am in FC12, hdsploader fails with a "device busy" error.
The multiface II is running off of PCIe on IRQ17, which is apparently
shared with my Radeon card, also in PCIe port. I cannot reassign this
IRQ in BIOS, and I haven't been able to plug into another PCIe port.
Any help? Is there some FC12 udev magic I must do?
What happens if you remove the snd_hdsp kernel module and load it again?
/sbin/rmmod snd_hdsp
/sbin/modprobe snd_hdsp
I presume you do have alsa-tools-firmware installed, right?
