That aint bad at all, infact it seems quite a bargain!
Oh my!
I wonder what the price for one of these would amount to...

Its about EUR800.
and heres another one:

4&m=5823013067&r=5823013067
There is plenty of choice in this area it seems.
(UKP450 is about EUR650)
I think linux is loosing out by not supporting any of these.
It definitely seems so.
They seem to
be a better option than USB devices for higher end stuff, while being
cheaper than the PCMCIA stuff.
I'm might not be the one to judge, but with the specs presented I'd say it's
also better than PCI based soundcards.
- Better price/performance
- more I/O
- better SnR than most PCI cards, all AD/DA is by definition external.
Latency might be an issue, I don't know...
Is there something we can do to try support this stuff? I don't recall the
outcome of the last mLan/Firewire discussion. Are there some specs that are
not available to us?
