So far so good - I managed to get "soundcore" and "rme96xx" loaded.

Also fine.

The documentation says that "-rme" is to use Ritch's 9652
driver. Isn't this what we're doing?

Doesn't work. It launches, sometimes gives me
OSS: requested audio buffer size 14112 limited to 4096
(are we supposed to be using OSS at all?) and then just says
Pd: system call timed out
at which stage it's essentially dead; the GUI thread is running but
nonfunctional.
Specifying "-verbose" suggests that this is coming from OSS.
So I try "pd -verbose -rme" and get as far as "RME open" before it
just fails in the way I described (failing to find the entries in
/dev).
Aside: comment from Andreas Poegl (I think: the PD list archive is out
of date so I can't see the details) about the path settings for
rme96xx: nope. The Makefile is broken since (in Red Hat 7.1) the first
line of version.h is now a #include, not a definition of UTS_RELEASE.
Oh, and the xrmectrl program still appears nonfunctional.
Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong? At this stage I'm thinking
of completely giving up on PD as a viable option for this project.
