[LAD] embedded high end audio

[porl sheean]

i am aware that proprietary solutions exist, but they are a) really
expensive and b) proprietary. i was thinking if these things worked
with netjack etc, it would essentially be possible to use them
directly as audio inputs to a standard linux pc over ethernet as well
as being networkable audio distributors.

as for the gumstix etc, i looked at them a while ago and thought they
looked pretty cool, but i would be surprised if the audio interface
was up to the quality required.

i noticed a couple of mentions that echo audio do custom jobs. does
anyone have any idea how much would that be costing though? obviously
i suppose i would use their normal interfaces for prototypes and
developing the interface, but i wonder if the custom builds would be
more appropriate?

thanks
