72 I believe that alsa-firmware is only supporting the HDSP devices
73 (Digiface and Multiface) that need to have firmware loaded into them
74 before they will operate. My HDSP 9652 doesn't need it since the
75 firmware is on the card.
76
77 I find it doubtful that this will fix your problem, but it doesn't hurt to try.
