hi mark,
just to make sure that i understand:

i am running a multiface very well here and don't know which firmware is
flashed in.
but there is 1: firmware which is flashed into the card
                   2: the firmware drivers from alsa, on my system still
the old demudi package, sth. like 1.09..

so if i update the firmware drivers to 1.0.13 i should not expect breakage?

do you have a feeling that i am understanding this in right way??

cheers,
doc
