ATA also means "analog telephone adapter", in the telecom world.
Many ATA's (like the Linksys one we use with Vonage) are little
embedded boxes, sometimes with a built-in router or other
hardware, but they also make them as PC peripherals. This is
what he is referring to. Usually they show up as sound cards,
though I assume they have extra ioctl's or whatever for dealing
with things like detecting off-hook status, etc.
My only ATA experience with Linux was with PCI and ISA cards,
which did have drivers. there appear to be a number of USB ATA devices,
with a rj-11
plug for analog telephone network. i'm wondering if any of
these are compatible with the usb-audio ALSA driver? USB
ATA is a disk drive
technology, what does it have to do with
audio?
