Hi,
if you do "risk" it, be sure to let us know, especially if there are
problems ;)
I've been looking at buying one of these myself (possibly one of the bigger
devices but hopefully they are the same).
Rgds,
Robert

Ok, thanks. Maybe that's enough to risk it.
I'm
thinking of picking up a Phonic Helix Board 12 FireWire MKII
(soundcard mixer combo)
Has anyone used this on linux with ffado and jack succesfully?
If so, are there any limitations on linux and what sort of performance
did you see?
(latency vs load)
(the ffado site lists it as "reported to work" but no specifics and
it's not listed as supported)
I think the ffado.org "reported to work" was mine. I didn't do any
serious testing of this. I built ffado (pre-rc), plugged it in and
checked I could get signals into and through Jack and back out to the
soundcard - it all seemed to work but the mixer belongs to my workplace
so I couldn't do much more than that. Although it's 10 channels out to
the DAW, it's only 2 channels back to the soundcard so a bit restricted
if you want to monitor anything other than the complete mix.
I looked at the m-audio NRV10 initially as it has the full 10 channel
return plus an
extra XLR/preamp and inserts on all channels but it's £130 more expensive
for it.
I'd be using it for relay recording anyway not live mixing of multiple
sources and I
don't do any surround work so i'm not sure it's worth it. Not to me anyway,
cheers,
pete.
