Hi Dale,<div><br></div><div>The Echo cards are in principal very well supported in Linux, as Echo actively support development of drivers.</div><div>They're even nice enough to post sources to a sample driver on thier site.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've got an Indigo DJ here (that's 2 stereo outputs, one headphones level w vol control, the other line). If you don't need inputs perhaps that's a good choice? As far as support goes, assuming your PCMCIA slot is good, it works *extremely* well. I'm running 5 ms with it, on a moderate laptop and assuming your JACK graph isn't too heavy it won't xrun at all. Very happy with it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Slight drawback is that one needs the "echomixer" (part of alsa) to control the volume, as it provides 8 virtual outputs. But the echomixer is a good tool, and if you don't need to reconfigure it, it keeps its settings from last use. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I picked mine up 2nd hand for a great price, perhaps worth checking out the 2nd hand market?</div><div>My advice: buy it. They're great :) -Harry</div>
