[linux-audio-user] M-Audio Audiophile 192

[Marco Schaffhöfer]

Hello list,

I'm using Linux (Red Hat 9, Fedora Core) for several years and I'm reading 
this list for some time, but I have no experience in using Linux audio yet. 
So I am looking for a reliable soundcard, which could be used as a 
midi-controlled softwaresyntesizer, looking forward to making my first steps 
as a LAU :-) The M-Audio Audiophile soundcards seemed to be an appropriate 
choice.

But Ctirad answered that the Audiophile 192 is not supported by Alsa. So, who 
is wrong?

Looking on the ALSA pages, it seems that Ctirad is right. On the other hand, 
M-Audio states that ALSA is supporting the "Audiophile" without 
distinguishing between both cards.

As I am to make a decision between the "2496" and the "192" too, I would be 
glad if someone could clarify this point. Who has an Audiophile 192 running?

Moreover I would like to know the differences between both cards (except from 
the sampling rate). Are there any benefits using the Audiophile 192 compared 
to the 2496?

TIA
Marco
