HI
I too thought this of RME, their website is a bit ambiguous to say the
least.
Well yes, they are not very clear as to the differentiation of their cards,
i.e. what card is good for what kind of use. I even got a printed ad here
where they're marketing the digi96/8 series as "the all-in-one tool for
professional harddisk recording".
I can say the cheap(!?) Hammerfall lite I have
works on all the Linux
system I have used, with very low latencies.
Still digital I/O only, right?
He should contact RME direct and let us know the
outcome, they seem to
be a Linux friendly company.
I'm not quite sure what I should expect from
them. They won't trade in my
card since I bought it used, and I'm not too positive they will supply me
with a low latency driver for Linux ;)

I'm able to run the digi96/8 pad at 2 periods of 256 frames at 48kHz. I
think that corresponds to ~10 ms for playback latency and ~5ms for
capture latency. That is, if I'm understanding the jackd manpage
correctly ...
