I guess I would have to run the SBlive in the OSS layer? You can run them both as ALSA and you can even bind them into a single virtual device. You won't be able to maintain sample level sync without wordclock. How much of a problem that is depends on exactly what you want to do. If you're just looking for I/O in real time (as opposed to realtime), sync isn't much of an issue. If you're looking for multichannel I/O for recording/mixing, it's inadequate. > Then suffer from realtime issues again?

It is an actual piece of hardware. It can be seen as a disadvantage when it's time to mix down (you have to lay it down to PCM). I'd like to find a way around that. > > R~
