The ESI MAYA 44 USB is nice and works with Linux; but has no MIDI and no XLR in; Note that you can only use 4 I/O simultaneously. Practically every USB-1.1 interface (with few exceptions) works with Linux; a list of supported devices is available at: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdevcat.php?id=7&o=0&w=t&s=v&… Before you buy, check `cat /proc/interrupts` if your computer has a IRQ for an USB with no other devices on the same line. Recent Kernels have gotten much better at handling multiple devices on the same IRQ, but you'll have less things to tweak and certainly a lower chance to encounter xruns (aka drop-outs) if you can plug the sound-card in a port with no other devices on it. eg. I use usb4: - ---8<--- 17: 11859969 89 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb3, HDA Intel, ohci1394 18: 56231573 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb4 19: 334083 3 IO-APIC-fasteoi ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb5 - ---8<--- HTH, robin
