Re: [linux-audio-user] M-Audio MidiSport 2x4?

Hello! I'm new to the list, and only marginally familiar with Linux. I've used Linux on and off for several years, but never for audio before. I've compiled the kernal in the past, but never done anything quite so complicated as setting up SMP and low-latency, which I plan to. My target machine is a dual PII-350. I'm looking at putting together a system that I can run outboard MIDI gear from to start with, using either a Tracker or general-purpose MIDI sequencer. I've seen the compatibility chart, and think I'd like to pick up a small M-Audio interface. The MidiSport 2x2 is probably too small, as I'd outgrow it quickly. The 4x4 is just about the right size... but the 2x4 is insanely cheap on some webstores. Unfortunately, it's not mentioned on the list, and I haven't seen any mention of it in the archives. Does anyone know if the MidiSport is supported? And if not, how can I tell what chipset it has, so that I can guess if its even a worthwhile attempt? Thanks for any advice!
