Thanks for the info Paul. So do you say the digi96/8 is significantly less
well supported on Linux than the Hammerfall/HDSP? If so, shouldn't that
info be on alsa soundcard matrix?
Since the Hammerfall series didn't seem appropriate for my needs (digital
I/O only, high cost), it seemed that the digi96/8 and the M-Audio Delta
1010 LT would be good alternatives. Would the 1010 LT have been the better
choice? What other alternatives are there for hd recording on Linux when
Hammerfall/HDSP is not an option?
I bought an RME Digi96/8 PST because it was said
to have good Linux
support and very low latency, therefore perfectly suitable for
hd-recording and the like.
where does it say this? the digi96/8 is an entirely different product
(different h/w design, different chipset, different interactions with
the host CPU) from the digi9652, HDSP and HDSP9652 systems. this latter
range is well supported and works exceedingly well on almost all
systems. the digi96/8 has support, but it does not work particularly
well, especially not for low latency work (this is not because of the
driver design (other than the overall way that ALSA works), but because
of the h/w design). as for issues with xruns and delays, you need to tell
us what kernel,
what distribution, and what version of ALSA.
Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.9b emulation code)
Kernel: Linux neurose 2.6.12-oci2.mdk with realtime lsm module and
PREEMPT/PREEMPT_BKL enabled. Distribution is PCLinuxOS P91 fully updated
and with the Jack packages from thac
(jackit-0.100.1-050708.1.pclo2005.thac).
Thanks
