A little history many people may not know but the original implementations - and possibly still the only implementations - of the Linux versions of hdspmixer and hdspconf were developed by Thomas Charbonnel while he lived in France but debugged using my HDSP 9652 here in California. This was all done I guess 5-6 years ago. thomas didn't have a card so I set up an account on my system and let Thomas ssh in. He wrote and compiled his code, I loaded the drivers and did audio and visual debugging, gave him feedback, etc. When we got things working he released the applications into the mainstream where they have remained since. At the time that we did this work - I'm guessing sometime in 2003 - there was no support in the card for anything above 96KHz and the version of hdspconf on my Gentoo machine still only allows you to set a max of 96K. It does appear from the link you provided that RME has adopted the sliding spec and the newer cards support 192KHz. I'm pretty sure as you say that mine doesn't. So it seems that at the time I purchased mine the name did imply a maximum of 96K but today it does not anymore. Whether the Alsa driver for the card will support 192K I don't know. I suspect it doesn't unless there have been recent updates by someone other than Thomas who doesn't seem to participate in Linux audio anymore, much to my disappointment. the development of hdspmixer and hdspconf are really fond memories I have of the Open Source community in general and Thomas specifically. Probably instead of telling HDSP9652 owners that 192K is or is not supported someone should put some info up somewhere at the alsa-project site that explains how you'd know. It's most likely not true for most/many of us here I suspect, but that's just a guess. BTW - My last siting of Thomas was in Berlin a few years ago. If he's there you should meet up and have a beer if you haven't already. Cheers, Mark

At some hdsp driver evolution point the was a regression, and I have tried few patches from one of developers against (don't remember a number) appropriate hdsp-at-192KHz-related bug. Currently I can not start a JACK server at 192KHz, but I don't need to start at 192KHz also - so, I don't move on (as a bug reporter) :-)
