Pieter, for your records:<br><br>** Those that considered buying a firewire device:<br>* What device(s) did you consider buying?<br><br>Most Recently:<br>Mackie Onyx 1200F, RME Fireface 800, or Metric Halo 2882+DSP<br><br>
* What device did you go for in the end (if applicable)?<br><br>Have not as of yet.<br><br>* To what extent was the lack of Linux support a determining factor in<br>your decision?<br><br>Large extent, which is why at the moment since the Onyx is the only one I know of likely to get Linux support anytime soon, it will likely be the one I go for. I would rather either the Metric or RME with an external Onyx Preamp, but since the RME WONT work with Linux, and the Metric Halo I can't find much info on, It severely limits choices.
<br><br>I use my devices not only for recording, but with my most recent shopping I am looking to also have the capability to use as a standalone matrix mixer that I can use separately from the computer. Since I work in linux primarily to do my editing it means a lot to have support for whatever device I use.

following questionnaire.<br><br><br>** Those that have bought one or more firewire devices...<br>* can you provide which device(s), preferably with their GUID (can be<br>found out using gscanbus or sometimes on the device itself)
<br><br>* Do they work with linux?<br><br>** Those that considered buying a firewire device:<br>* What device(s) did you consider buying?<br><br>* What device did you go for in the end (if applicable)?<br><br>* To what extent was the lack of Linux support a determining factor in

<br>inlined with the questions. Please don't reply-to-all but reply to<br><a href="mailto:pieterp@joow.be">pieterp@joow.be</a> in order not to spam the mailing list with these<br>answers. It would also be nice if you left the subject line intact such
<br>that I can auto-filter these messages.<br><br>Again, sorry to bother you guys with this, but it's a bit difficult to<br>convince manufacturers without some decent data.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Pieter Palmers<br><a href="http://ffado.org">
