Ok, but in terms of flexibility and control, can i do with the M-Audio the same things that i can do with RME? I know that the RME ALSA drivers come with a utility to control the board, which can be used to assign channels and so on. How about the M-Audio? Is there anything similar for it? Or i only get to control it with alsamixer? (which should be ok after all) On Sun, 2004-01-25 at 17:49, D R Holsbeck wrote: > I have a 3 Delta 1010s.
