revolutionary applications planned? Major changes to some of the
existing apps? So let us know. What are your roadmaps for 2005? What are
you guys up to?
I plan to get my patch adding multichannel support to the emu10k1 ALSA
driver merged, then work on a real hwdep mixer app (probably by
extending ld10k1/qlo10k1). As many of you know I'm a big fan of these
cards, they are extremely cheap and (with good driver support) perfect
for an entry level DAW, like a portastudio or something. Anyone who has
used the kX drivers on Windows knows how much potential this device has,
and unfortunately the Linux support is still a joke compared to the kX
driver can do. But, that is all about to change, as the two crucial
features (the DSP patch loader and "kX ASIO", aka the full duplex
multichannel/low latency PCM device) now exist on Linux.

Lee,
What patch is that...is it public or for your personal use? ReasonI ask
is I also thing the performance of the SBlive card on linux is *very*
good for the buck...I get Sblive5.1's for $19.00 OEM. I also peeked at
the "Cheap man's multichannel card how to" and it has me thinking for
$60.00 I can have me 6 ins, 12 or 18 outs and a heckova cheap and
usefull multi channel box. I use the Delta 1010LT in my production box
but never can have too many! :) Latency was not super great on
SBLive...512 x 2 would produce no Xruns on 2.4.22 kernel and MDK 9.2.
Thats the last I used it. Buty that was also very liveable for like an
outbourd Digital FX rig for a PA and such.
Cheers.
