Looking for HDSP cards :
Card 0 : M-Audio MidiSport 1x1 at usb-00:03.3-3.3, full speed
Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0x40800000, irq 11
Uninitialized HDSP card found.
Use hdsploader to upload configuration data to the card.
No Hammerfall DSP card found.

[root at localhost root]# hdsploader
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : M-Audio MidiSport 1x1 at usb-00:03.3-3.3, full speed
Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP + Multiface at 0x40800000, irq 11
Upload firmware for card hw:1
Firmware uploaded for card hw:1

[root at localhost root]#/usr/bin/hdspconf
It works !
... but I can't ear sound (xmms was working with the AC97 and it was ok)

I tried

alias usb-controller usb-ohci
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
alias scsi_hostadapter sbp2

# --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.4 ---
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias snd-CARD_0 snd-hdsp

alias snd-CARD_1 snd-i810_audio

#---OSS compatibility alias
alias sound-slot-0 snd-CARD_0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss

alias sound-slot-1 snd-CARD_1
alias sound-service-1-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-1-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-1-12 snd-pcm-oss

#---Options
options snd major=116 cards_limit=1+1
device_mode=0666 device_gid=0 device_uid=0
options snd-CARD_0 index=0

options snd-CARD_1 index=1

#-- Keep modules from being autocleaned
add options -k snd-card-0

add options -k snd-card-1
#-- ALSA configuration END

big problems happens with "iptables" so I restored the old modules.conf
