PS: We several times had discussions about how to mix a deep bass sound
with Linux DAWs and I couldn't contribute a solution. However, I was
able to do this with the RME card. While all cards seem to sound equal,
I guess there are nice distinctions. If possible I'll stay with RME.
OTOH if Linux audio is dependent to just one vendor of really
"professional" cards, it's an unlucky situation. :(
