[PD] RME hammerfall

[derek holzer]

I think the main reason PD + ALSA + HDSP doesn't work by itself is that 
the HDSP often needs an additional "plugin layer" to run with ALSA 
anyway. I think this has to do with the 32 bit transfers or something, 
but for example to run with Mplayer, I needed to use this plugin layer 
to get proper sound out (w/ ALSA alone, now I also use Jack for 
MPlayer). I just looked around for a sample config, but I can't find it. 
Needless to say, I also use Jack as the interface between PD and ALSA. 
But this won't work till you have ALSA configured properly.
