Hi Mark -

I used to have a Hammerfall 9652 (actually, I never actually attached
the ADAT daughter board, so it was really a Hammerfall Lite) and
remember the lack of a mixer "element".

The idea being that "all digital" cards like these should not have/need
volume controls.  They should simply pass 1's and 0's to/from external
hardware.

I think there are still discussions of this in the linux-audio-user
archive (circa 2000/1 ??) if you have an interest...but it's probably
just me discussing my most recent cranial injury after banging my head
on the desk trying to get the thing working!

Kevin
