I guess that appears to be the case - unless someone
more expert has any better opinions.
Ok well all the information is pointing one way.. the dell may not be able to use this nor
in in fact any
firewire audio device and the firewire setup on linux seems to be extremely inefficient
going by the
information available. As such I decided the only thing to do was to ignore it all and buy
one anyway. =]
I'll jump in the pit with it and go a few rounds. If I don't get anywhere I'll
sell it on or use it on windows.
I'll report back with any linux related results (ie not bad dell hardware problems
which are outside the
scope of this list really). It should arrive in a couple of days.
Thanks again for taking the time to test this thing Simon.
cheers,
pete.
