[LAU] linux compatible USB Audio Interface

[jwind]

just for completeness:
after checking out the scarlett 18i8 with another system (a 
dual-core-netbook)
i have some not so nice drop-outs in playback, which not seem to be related
to any latency settings. (-
tried to debug a bit, but could not find any errors in kernel- or device 
logs;
does anyone know a good practice how to filter this?
thanks james for that hint.
