you are using is to be found within the audio application that makes
use of that piece of hardware. To take the FireFAce as an example:
it's not, as you seem to believe, in the RME console you set the
buffer - it is in MainStage, in Mobius, in Bidule, in Cubase etc. So
when using many applications together you should make sure that all of
them is set to the same audio interface buffer.
