[linux-audio-user] VIA EPIA-M9000 for audio?

I think the key question is: drivers. With all the components on board, if 
there aren't GPL drivers available then I'd steer clear. You don't need 
another NVIDIA-type situation.

As for recording, I think stereo plus midi is feasible, but what about more 
than two tracks? Audacity is lightweight, and seems to need a fast disk more 
than anything else. If you want two tracks at a time plus overdubs, that 
might be the way to go.
