I fell so ugly to have bought this board. What i want to do is: - record peoples (us) playing bass, guitar, synth together (just to get an idea of the "global" sound we do) - create some midi composition with bass, guitar, synth and drums (to get some idea about personals compositions) - mix up individuals records of bass, guitar and synth. - do all of these with GNU/Linux - with a sound card, i can buy at 100 euros/dollars max. - I don't care about 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, etc... Just stereo output will do the stuff. Please give me some feedback, i was thinking (as the old good years) that all SB boards was well supported under GNU/Linux, but i realized that now creative labs bizness give us full of "merchandising" boards. The choice is really difficult if i want to work entirely with GNU/Linux. Any feeback will be really apreciated. Christian
