Yes, it's really true. ;) > Thanks a lot for your hints.

Yes, of course. One thing to consider is: USB 1.1 already is a bit dated. Personally I wouldn't spend too much money on a USB-1.1-soundcard anymore, that's why I went with the cheap Terratec card. I never ran a USB2 soundcard, but IIRC ALSA has support for them in kernel 2.6. and USB2 is better suited for audio, I suppose, if alone for the even higher bandwidth. I still run a USB1 card, because my laptop doesn't have a USB2 port, otherwise I would probably look into those cards. But then, my el cheapo Terratec card works very fine and so I don't really need an upgrade. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
