Hello Frank; Thank you for your response, and I do not mean to be contrary, but what about the work the folks at http://www.linux1394.org/ are doing? I see that their subsystem has been included Linux kernel sources since version 2.3.40. Does the subsystem not work?

VX-Pocket or RME cards are good choices. Also try, if your internal soundcard is enough. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
