Thank you for the reply Glenn :)
it's good to know that at least you are using the same card. It's
already possible to use the card for audio production on my machine and
the sound quality, especially of the phones output is awesome, but I
don't have a good work flow, since a production could always be
interrupted by xruns etc. and I need all ADAT channels. RME is willing
to help, if an ALSA developer should be interested and I got a reply at
ALSA user mailing list,
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg29596.html .
Installing a Windows for test purpose becomes a PITA, I need to unplug
one of my SATA drives and I hot glued the connectors :D, hopefully it
does work, if I only disconnect the drive from power. I have to continue
now, I only missed to download http://cygwin.com/index.html , so I
booted Linux again and checked emails. I hope Cygwin will make it easier
to handle Windows.
I'll test Jack and Fluidsynth for Windows, but I'm not really
interested, I'm only doing it, to test the mobo and RME card.
