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've found several usenet articles suggesting the Digi96/8 is capable of
latencies < 10 ms at least on Windows.
