Pretty strange, since ardour does not complain, when

playback with the RME. Someone stated, that ardour ist writing
directly to the hardware, and seems to have no problem, when there's
nothing connected to the cards digital outputs. I also don't dare
trying to understand, why there is one capture/playback device in
/proc/card1/dev for the RME, while ardour reports 18.
That is because all the RMEs channels appear as one device.
Since I do not want to purchase another AEB/4-O analog
output box, I
would really like to know, how I could use my cheapo SoundBlaster.
You cant easily because the soundblaster and RME (unless you have wordclocked
them) will be running out of sync. If you did manage to make a virtual
device that read from the RME and wrote to the SB you would get lots of
clicks and pops.
If you want a cheaper solution and your not as worried about sound quality
(which i guiess is true if your willing to use a sb) you could by a cheap
ADAT/SPDIF DA converter and connect that to the rme.
