Tim,
   I periodiacally see the same problem with my HDSP 9652:

   I have found that most of the time this is caused by 2 things:

1) Booting too quickly. If I give larger time outs during grub then I'm
less likely to get this. None the less, this morning I rebooted 4 times
and continued to get the problem. For me I had to up my grub timeouts to
30 seconds to get it to work most of the time. (This may not apply to
the Digiface/Multiface like it does to the HDSP 9652 which has onboard
firmware.)

2) Booting while the machine is cold. Believe it or not, I get this a
lot in the morning when the box is physically cold. As I say, I rebooted
4 times this morning and it never worked. I then ran cpuburn (burnK7)
for 1 minute, did a Ctrl-C and then a reboot. The card was recognized
immediately.

ALSA ../../alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:5061: Firmware already loaded,
initializing card.

Go figure...
