The alsa page says that the E-MU 1820M is supported in version 1.0.14,
so this device should be supported now. Anyone use the device? If so,
how well does it play with alsa?

wow, no one has an E-MU 1820? I'm surprised. Maybe I should check the
-dev group.
It's between an E-MU 1820 and a Layla3G. Both seem to be about equal in caps.
thanks,
brad

Well, I have an Emu 1212M, which I guess is the closest you're going to
get. They use the same driver, though, as far as I know, so I might be
able to answer your questions.
In general, how does the 1212M play with ALSA? It does well enough if
all you need is the audio ins and outs. As far as I know, the outputs
are still limited to 16 bits (the inputs can run at 24 bit) because the
driver is not finished yet. I've also been unable to get MIDI in working
(in Ubuntu Studio 64 Hardy Heron), even though I can see the MIDI in
ports from kjackctl. I need to flip back over to Windows and test MIDI
there (where it was working at one time) to make sure it's not a
hardware issue.
I don't know if the guy working on the driver still is, or what progress
he has made since I last checked up on it.
Another issue I run into is the lack of support in the driver for
automatically resampling output (I run the clock at 44.1khz). I have to
make sure the audio software I use is able to support its own output
resampling. This is less big of a deal, as I plan to do all of my
production at 44.1, but I do have the odd mp3 encoded at 48khz for
whatever odd reason. Aqualung has solved this for me, though.
If you have any more specific questions, feel free to fire them off at
me, and I'll do the best I can to answer them.

Thanks, Darren. I think that pretty much clears it up. I'm going with
Echo Layla3G

I bought the Emu when I had decided to stick with Windows for music
production (where it's a fantastic sound card). Times and attitudes
changed, however, and now I find myself struggling keeping it all
working. I'm thinking about selling it off and finding something else
well-supported, like an M-Audio Audiophile. I need only two ins and two
outs.
That has to wait for a steady income to return to my life, however.

I'm going to take the liberty of throwing this out to the list at large.
No doubt this has been asked a million times (heck, maybe there are some
new options since the last time this question came up), but what are
some good two-channel in-out cards (24-bit capable) with MIDI that
really work super-well with ALSA. 1/4 inch jacks for the audio would be
really nice, I dare say, even required. Working on 64-bit systems would
also be a requirement.
The Echo MiaMIDI is looking pretty good. Any word on how well they work
in 64-bit Linux?
Thanks!

A few weeks ago I wrote here a short description about current status of EMU
support. Search for "1616" in list archives.
