"I have to admit I still use Windows with the kX drivers when it's time to make music. It will be a great day when I can do the same with Linux." I have been of the same mind but today I am prepared to traverse the tightrope of Linux audio out further over the canyon than ever before. Since I joined Cakewalk and Steinberg users Anonymous I have gained new faith! :) and many of the applications are really beggining to mature and the next line of defense in my mind is hardware and drivers.
