Hi Dave, Oeyvind - Perhaps you have seen this, but it looks like there is new ALSA support for the Echo line ("snd-echoaudio", ALSA >=0.9.3), including Oeyvind's Layla. It might be worth a try, I have never used it myself. http://space.virgilio.it/g_pochini@xxxxxxxxxxx/ea.html ...linked from the ALSA soundcard matrix.
