If you need the midi ports there is a chance that you are correct.
The audio ports though should work splendidly, support for envy24 based cards
is generally very good in Linux, and quite sure this includes the DSP2000

As for the status page the card reads *untested*
.
Ah, so they changed the status already? Very interesting. "Untested"
means "Completely unsupported", right? This is very bad news, and seeing
this, I doubt that there is any chance to have a fully working DSP2000C
within reasonable time. For me, there is no other choice than switching back
to Win ´98 and
Cubase VST and forgetting completely about sound under Linux, at least
for now.
As I said, if you really need the midi-ports you might be right. On the other
hand, midi-ports are cheap, most mainboards come with joystick-ports
nowdays... (perhaps not the same quality though).
In general it's more of a question of what apps you intend to be using. VST is
probably a more stable and more feature rich environment.
Linux-audio is still in what "suits" like to call, early adopter stage,
meaning that it's mainly applicable to people that really want to use it and
are prepared to jump through a few hoops to do it.
But we are going to change that, right? ;)
