[linux-audio-dev] Linux DSP Hardware?

[jipi]

Hi folks,

currently, all signal processing algos are being done in software for 
Linux Audio.
are there any hardware accelerated support for audio hardware when doing 
these sort of algos?

what I mean is, graphics card manufacturers have hardware acceleration 
where the X servers can support those acceleration. do we have it in audio?

for now, RME cards do not have DSPs in them yet. (as far as i know)
they only have audio signal routings and high quality audio paths.

what if we want to experiment with h/w dsp? (e.g. the 1820m from 
creative professional aka emu)
