Hi Mario! The 1010lt has the ADCs/DACs on the card directly and the outputs are only a bundle of cables, the big 1010 has an external box for AD/DA conversion and I/Os. I've used the 1010lt for a while now and it works VERY good! Has done so with alsa since 0.9.6 (even in text-based alsamixer there are all controls!)
