Hi Joao,
I remember having the same problem a while back, and all it took to
fix the wacom permissions was adding
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"
to your /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file.
As for the RME Multiface, I used to have one and had so many problems
with it that I sold it and bought an Edirol FA-101 for 1/4 the price.
Its working great. But I think I was getting bad latency because my
cardbus reader did not perform the right type of 'burst-mode' or
something.
regards,
rich
