I have a general question on these transport methods. I understand ADAT LightPipe is a transmission protocol with up to eight channels of sound, so any device with on of these interfaces can be connected together and transmit the sound between the devices. With regards to Firewire and USB, many different device manufactures have Analog to Digital Converter devices with both Firewire and USB interfaces. My question is: Are the sound channels transmitted with a standard protocol? or does each manufacturer implement their own transmission protocol for the channels in their device? So with regards to ALSA, I'm wondering if different devices that connect via Firewire and USB pose unique implementation issues? Wondering... thanks!
