there are some excellent and very well-supported firewire devices out
there. personally, i've been using the saffire pro26 and the mackie onyx
16ch mixer - both work very well on a properly tuned system. both would
qualify as "expensive", though, even though price/performance is more
than adequate.
USB1 works OK
with ALSA but what is the status for USB*2*-Soundcards?
I guess this makes me
think: what about the new USB 3.0? This morning I
was reading that the kernel shipped with the new version of Ubuntu
supports the standard, and new devices should start to be on the
market... From what I've read there should be a great improvement in
speed (as usual one has to understand what is media and market hype and
what is the real performance)
Could this at last free linux (but not only them) musician from
expensive an usually-badly-supported firewire cards?
