As I just wrote on the pd-list, I have very good experience with the
built-in sound on nforce-cards. The msi k7n420pro and asus a7n266-vm.
128 frames per period in jack works totally fine for realtime
recording/processing/playing. Even 64 frames nearly works fine.

The current ALSA card list just says whether or not a card has a driver (and
the state of that driver). It doesn't indicate how well the card is going to
work.
I don't want to have to learn about DSPs and stuff to be able to identify a
_good_ sound card. I've currently got a shortlist for my next machine:
* MidiMan Delta Audiophile 2496 (Envy24)
* VideoLogic SonicFury OEM (CS4360)
* Creative SB PCI 128 (ES1371)
I've read the specs and looked around various review sites. Nothing anywhere
tells me how well they're going to work. Or does it? Am I failing to find
some secret source of information?
I can't answer this properly, but there is
some issue to with mmap mode I
believe. It is a very small number of cards that dont work.
We should compile a list of them, and maybe put it in the JACK FAQ.
