[linux-audio-user] sub $200 sound card recommendations

[Martin Habets]

It was 145 UK pounds. Maybe the dollar is sliding faster than I thought,
but it's still in that ballpark. (go white sox! :)

The UA-25 uses S24_3LE. See the link for a jack patch that kindof swaps
the bytes, but it leaves byte 4 empty. Hence samples loose their sign plus
more.
Shouldn't the jack buffer convert the samples to a full 32 bit value?
How are applications suposed to know how many bits are valid in the
jack_port_buffer?
