Here is some follow-up....
First of all, when I unload and then reload snd-hdsp the card is no
longer found, even though it remains listed on lspci.
Fedora 8 initializes the hdsp upon bootup. The card works properly.
However, hdsploader returns "device busy" error.
I can boot fedora 8 and load the firmware, then reboot into fedora 12
and the multiface appears to remain initialized. hdspmixer crashes
however. BUT, if I run the version of hdspmixer found in my fedora 8
install, it runs and all seems to be working. The hdspconfig works
properly by the way. the hdspmixer is version 1.6 in both fedora 8 and
12 installations. Of course the alsa versions are different. My fedora 8
install uses 1.0.16-1 and fedora 12 is using 1.0.22-1. I must conclude
that there is a problem with alsa 1.0.22-1 as packaged in fedora 12 in
my situation (64-bit quad core intel system)
That's my report.....any help from the community is GREATLY appreciated!
