[linux-audio-user] alsa hdsp and oss emulation

Dear list, this is a bit complicated, due to big/little endian issues, perhaps. I am trying to load the firmware into my hdsp pcmcia card. I am getting the fifo timeout: peter:~# hdsploader hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards : Card 0 : PowerMac Screamer Rev 0 Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0xf3000000, irq 58 Upload firmware for card hw:1 Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error. I am using debian testing, running a 2.6.8 kernel with manually compiled 1.0.8 alsa drivers on a G3 powerpc laptop. cardbus version is 11 (rev 0b) the card is loadable out of osx. i am stuck here, and don't know what to do now. any suggestions are very welcome! thanks, Peter
