It can be found on the jack devel list, forgot the URL.
I would not recommend it for doing important performances though,
as it is in early development, thats probably why almost nobody on th pd
list knows about it.

I took some time looking at pd's alsa code, and from that it is
pretty obvious why the RME card doesn't work, because non-interleaved
mode is not supported.  I would recommend to use my driver and just wait
until pd's alsa support gets fixed.
