The usb audio maudio transit I have been quite pleased by, esp now that the alsa has stabilised for this card. Latency it sseems to me is more a matter of the buffer size that is used than anything else. At 1ms you can only have at most 20 samples in the buffer. That runs the danger of underruns, since something could distract the computer for that length of time. > > Thanks, > Florian > > > -- William G.
