Arg :-)) I thought that that was just it, because it sounded like the
problem.. if i use alsa now, i get:

ERROR: [ECA-CHAINSETUP] : "Enabling chainsetup: AUDIOIO-ALSA2: Unable to
open ALSA-device for playback; error: Sound protocol is not compatible"

How do i fix this ALSA-device? :o(

Yup, here the soundcard access goes through ALSA's OSS-emulation layer.
The routing commands I mentioned in the previous post (-erc and -eac)
should work fine with both OSS-emulation and native access. But
I recommend using the native ALSA mode, especially with the RME.
Non-interleaved access to OSS devices is quite ineffiecient (unlike
ALSA, OSS only supports interleaved multichannel operation).

This means that ecasound was not compiled with ALSA-support. To enable it,
you have to recompile ecasound after installing the alsa-lib package.
You can get a list of support audio input/output types with the command
"echo aio-register |ecasound -c". You should see 'alsa' list as one of the
supported types.
