ahh..... ;) pci has way, way more options that firewire. Personally
i'd only use firewire if i had a laptop, and i didn't have cardbus
slots in the laptop, and i couldn't buy a laptop that did.... ;) I.e i
wouldn't use firewire without some freak event. M-audio, RME and echo
pci gear all works well under linux. M-audio 1010, echo layla seem
like nice options for a decent amount of inputs. The layla can do adat
as well, and with both cards you can have multiple cards in one
machine. So a few m-audio 1010's should satisfy any need. Depends if
you need 24+ inputs or what. 8 is fine for me.
