If this works, you have at least a working card/driver ...

if the card works (checked with the play command), then it is still
possible that the open call is to slow on your hardware, ..
change in s_linux.c: oss_open_audio(..)
occurences of sys_setalarm(1000000);
to sys_setalarm(5000000);
and recompile, ...

if the rmectrl works there is a good chance that your hardware works.
.. There will be a day when I will find the time to improve the
rmectrl program ...
TO check if the card loaded correctly you can issue a
> dmesg
which will show you a short message about loading the rme96xx module ..
(... sorry for the delay, but I was sort of busy lately ..)
