[linux-audio-user] audio card

[ljc at internet.com.uy]

hello list,

yet another question about sound cards...

i want to buy a card for my new laptop. it doesn't have pcmcia, so i  
need a firewire or usb card. i want 8 analog outputs, but i'm not  
interested in many inputs, two is just fine. midi i/o would be very  
welcome.

i found that the general layout of the m-audio firewire 410 is exactly  
what i'm looking for, but i searched a bit and i found out it's not  
supported by freebob.

can anyone recommend a card with similar specs to the firewire 410  
that's compatible with linux? does anyone know if the 410 might be  
supported in the future?

thanks,

lj
