Hi John - I would love to help. I have a few machines running Hammerfall cards, two through the ADAT outs, and one using S/PDIF, though I have not had any issues in either case since ALSA 0.9beta11 or so. And the fact that you are getting sound from some apps and in some formats and not others is puzzling except to imagine that the OSS emulation is working, while the straight PCM feed to alsa is getting garbaged up.
So a few questions: 1. Are you using a .asoundrc, and if so/not, how do you specify the pcm when using aplay/acrecord? By default, aplay uses hardware access, you might try the plug layer with something like: aplay -D plughw:0,0 filename.wav Let me know if this one works, and we can go from there. 2. What external hardware are you using and where is the clock happening (my hammerfall are all set to "autosync" rather than "master") Lastly, take a look at gamix, a gtk mixer which DOES give you some controls for the hammerfall (switching clock, passthu for channels, etc. It is still pretty ugly and primitive relative to what you would like).
