Hammerfall card problem [seems ok, but weird..]

Hi again,

Well, more on this one: I downloaded the latest version of Winfried
Ritsch's Hammerfall driver and installed it. His test program works
better now (I can get the test tone playing from each channel of the
card in turn, without it crashing).

Also, PD works in multichannels: I can open patches, do all the usual
things, modify the test audio patch to write to dac 3 and dac 4 etc...
fine.

But I still get the reports below, and the 'errors' box still goes red:
I understood this to mean that audio i/o wouldn't work. Am I
misunderstanding the function/purpose of the 'errors' box?

Nick
