On the EEE, what audio interface are you using with

built-in CODEC? With Jack?
For my own practicing, simple audio editing (Rezound, oggz-chop, mpgsplit), and street
performing, I use the built-in HDA-Intel interface. Works great.
For the couple band rehearsals I've brought it to, I've used my USB FastTrack Pro,
since it has 1/4" outs. If I used it in any other live situation I'd use the
FastTrack too.

Actually,
I'm using the EEE as a softsynth, not a DAW.
It's working out rather well so far. I can run a couple Fluidsynths, an ecasound with
a couple LADSPA plugins, and some other utilities, with no problems. Exactly what I
wanted.
I also experimented with ecasound on it for doing some scratch ideas, and it works.
I also loaded Ardour on it, but Ardour is DOA on the EEE: the dialog boxes so frickin big
that they don't fit in the EEE's small screen.
But the EEE is perfect as a low-power, light, highly portable softsynth. I've used it
for some outdoor street music, and it's fantastic for that. Also very convenient for
rehearsals and should be helpful for casual gigs too.
