[linux-audio-user] Terratec Phase88?

[Ross Vandegrift]

Hey all,

	Noticed the Phase88 in the new Musician's Friend catalog - very,
very attractive price for such a loaded interface.  I have two
questions:

1) Is it supported under ALSA?  I've done a bit of research and it's
difficult to find anything on the Phase88.  It looks almost exactly like
the EWS88 MT, straight down to the layout of the breakout A/D conversion
box.  In fact, a post on RAP hints that it might just be a rebranding:

2) Does it sound decent?  I'm currently using an M-Audio Delta44 and
dying to get more channels.  This is much cheaper than a Delta1010.  If
I had the cash now to drop on a 1010, I'd do it, since I know the
M-Audio stuff rocks.  I've been unable to find any reviews online, web
or Usenet.

Thanks!
