This looks very exciting... Sorry if ask again, can I use hw:0,2 for recording even if I don't have the external rack but only the pci card? This would be great... And is the "EFX voices mask control" only an alsa patch or there some associated utility? For what I understand there must be integrated in 2.6.9 kernel right? Any link to find more information about that is very appreciated ;-) Thanks, - Antonio
