Hello,
I already own two Sekd cards (old ARC88) wich are neither ALSA supported, nor
OSS. But I'd like to switch my audio station to Linux.
Sorry if the question has been answered before, but I just wanted to know what
linux-supported card would you recommend, for the same field of application
(multi analog ins and outs, plus MIDI and sync).
For information, I'm going to use Ardour, mainly for direct recording of my
band live sessions.
Thanx :)
NiXO.

RME multiface. rock-solid, and can be used with desktop or laptop.
8 channels analog I/O, plus adat and s/pdif, all of which can be used
simultaneously.... so, with additional external converters, you can get up
to 18 channels.

If you're looking for a lower-budget option, I'd recommend one of
the Echo Laylas. I've got a Layla20 (20bit, 8 analog in, 10
analog out, spidif in/out, wordclock, midi in/out/through) and
I'm really happy with it. It's only PCI, though, so no laptop. I
got it for $210 on ebay. It's got a great mixer program for
zero-latency headphone mixes and really useful metering. I've had
no problems with ALSA support, just compiled the snd-layla20
driver and it worked.
good luck,

Sounds like an attractive option for a future upgrade. Does the
hardware mixing allow you to route the mix to any set of outputs you
like?
One deficiency of the hardware mixer on my Delta44 is that the
hardware mixing only works if you're monitoring on outputs 1 and 2.
I'd like to be able to switch between cans and speakers, so it'd be
nice to just have the cans plugged into outputs 3 and 4, but alas, no
dice...

Yup, In the mixer, each input channel has 12 sliders for how much
of that channel you want in each output channel. check out
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/g_pochini/ea-emixer.html for more
details on the mixer program. pretty slick.

Ciao there...
I'm using an M-audio Delta 1010 with satisfaction on my Linux box.
The support is good and worked out-of-the-box for me...
My system is running a Slackware 10.1 with 2.6.11 kernel (no patches yet).
I've used it with my "hardware" equipement and software synths from Muse
sequencer.
Hope this helps...
