  so everything looks fine but when i start pd it hangs
for about 20
 seconds and then outputs the following errors, then quits.

 input channels = 2, output channels = 2
 device name hw:0; channels in 2, out 2
 audio buffer set to 50
 opening sound input...
 using non-interleaved audio input
 Sample width set to 4 bytes
 ALSA: set input channels to 14
 ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:324:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed: Device or
resource busy
 snd_pcm_hw_params (input): Device or resource busy
 pd: pcm.c:4887: snd_pcm_sw_params_current: Assertion `pcm->setup' failed.
 Pd: signal 6
 socket receive error: Connection reset by peer (104)
 Aborted 
"Device or resource busy" errors normally occur, when the sound
device is, well, busy i.e. there is nother application using the
soundcard. Check with "fuser /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c" or similar.

With Pd however a lot of people have problems using the RME cards
directly. You may be luckier if you use Pd over Jack. Otherwise try to
not use Pd's default device hw:0 when starting Pd but maybe use
plughw:0 first or define a device in your ~/.asoundrc, that matches
your favourite setup. Pd 0.37.1test6 now has the "-alsaadd" option to
let you specify arbitrary PCM names.

ciao
