Should I worry about the latency? (15ms is perfect for me) Is it worth using cardbus cards? Are they really better"? For the Edirol suggestion I found "EDIROL UA-25 USB Audio and MIDI interface for Music Recording" and there is a good review pointing out some problems with the dynamic range and the input compression... Do you know any card which solves this? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006AZLSU/ref=pd_sbs_MI_3/104-9681277-5000739?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance On the other hand, what about Mackie Spike Digital Recording System? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006AZLSU/ref=pd_sbs_MI_3/104-9681277-5000739?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance Finally I suppose that Firewire won't work on linux isn't it?
