I am looking to purchase a nice soundcard for the laptop. What is the
verdict on the Edirol Firewire stuff? How about the USB2 stuff? I'm
especially interested in products like the FA101 or UA101.
Will this type of soundcard have better physical latency than my integrated POS?
Also interested in any other ideas.

I use the Hardwaremonitoring on my Terratec EWX 24/96 without any
Problems with Jack/alsa. The card has a envy24-Chipset so i guess
envy24-USBstuff will work fine as well.
BTW Firewiresupport is still experimental with alsa while USB2 should be
~ by far powerfull enough to serve all the needs of audio...

Well, if there was something like "envy24-USBstuff". USB soundcards
are not based on that chipset, which is a PCI chip. [1]
Anyway: Generally most USB1.1 soundcards are supported very well by
ALSA, however for USB2 this is a different story. According to the
soundcard matrix, Playback on the UA-1000 by Edirol doesn't work. To
most people playback is a rather important feature.
I don't think, other USB2 soundcards are much better supported yet,
however maybe some alsa-developers would like to comment on thos.

The UA101 is not supported, as it is USB2, but does not adhere to the
USB audio standard.
The device shows up as a Vendor Specific Type (in the USB descriptor),
not as an audio device. I suppose a separate driver will need to be
written for it, which probably won't succeed without information from
Edirol. I am not sure what the current status is there.
As I hear that the FreeBob project is supporting the FA101, I suppose
that that may also help for development of the UA101, as I suspect
that the devices are quite similar, apart from the
connection/protocol.
sincerely,
Marije

How is Edirol about Linux support? Do they provide documentation to
developers or are they tight asses about it? If they are tight asses,
is there a good sound system made by someone that is better about
supporting their customers' choice in OS?

How about firewire support itself then? If I buy a supported firewire
soundcard am I going to then find that my buss is not supported? That
would suck.

In development.
The Freebob project is working on it, and if I remember correctly you
should be able to find a thread about this in the archives of this list
(or of the developers one), especially about the FA101.

that the firewire bus on the computer has a decently working driver?
USB was pretty well supported before many USB devices ever worked, is
it the same with firewire?
