Hi Joe I don't have the Babyface but the phantom power issue is not that
inconvenient, for you can have a cheap external one like these :

Hi, all. I'm considering replacing my M-Audio
Delta 1010 an Mackie Big Knob
monitor controller with an RME Babyface Pro so that I have preamps available
at my desktop without breaking out my big mixer, and hardware volume control
for my monitors.
I know a few folks here have the Babyface Pro (Hi, Fons and Brent!) and
I'm curious as to whether you're all still happy with it. I've been reading
that in the class-compliant mode, which is required for Linux use), that
various features are not enabled.
My biggest concern is about phantom power, as I'd seen a mention that
PP is only settable from the TotalMix software, which is a no-op in CC mode.
I'm also interested in any "gotchas" or anecdotes about living with this
unit under Linux.
Thanks!
