good point. now I start to remember the protocol mess

1394 audio. - and hope I'll forget about it again soon.. ;) PCMCIA is ok, but not great for low latency.
(adds one extra interface
between PCI bus & sound-card). - the cheap solution is to get a PCMCIA
card for your hard-disk - instead of using the built-in firewire for the
disk. - maybe you want to do that anyway. use the built-in firewire to
an external audio-device and the PCMCIA for storage.
Quite the opposite.
PCMCIA is great for latency. That "extra" PCI bridge does NOT affect
audio latency.
Firewire latencies are bigger than PCI/PCMCIA and will always be. Ask
Pieter Palmers for details. And ppalmers stated that firewire will be much better
than netjack because of
fixed latency and guaranteed bandwidth and reaction time.
Compared to netjack we
will totally rule :). But that's not for the next
release.
