[LAD] Status of USB M-Audio Fast Track Ultra/Ultra 8R

Hi everyone, For those who are interrested in getting the USB M-Audio Fast Track Ultra/Ultra 8R... It works almost out of the box in Ubuntu 11.04 (kernel 2.6.38) but: - Alsa needs to be modified to get the Midi recognized. The fix is already known and I'm very confident it will get to Alsa mainstream soon. - The internal routing of the soundcard is done via software. There is a patch available wit the basic functionality but I haven't tested that yet. Oh and the main developers of this functionality has been posting stuff today on the Alsa-Devel mailing list, so he's working on it. - There is a small bug where the sounds cards is dropping samples. Daniel Mack from the Alsa-Devel is working on it. The most complete thread on the subject is here: http://forums.m-audio.com/showthread.php?714-Not-a-problem.-FastTrack-on-li… Overall, it's not as well supported as the Edirol UA-25Ex for example (the USB one I used to have), but I'm very confident it's only a questions of months. And the more people get it, the more information we can compile, the fastest the issue is going to be fixed I suppose.
