Well yes, they are not very clear as to the differentiation of their cards, i.e. what card is good for what kind of use. I even got a printed ad here where they're marketing the digi96/8 series as "the all-in-one tool for professional harddisk recording". > I can say the cheap(!?)

They won't trade in my card since I bought it used, and I'm not too positive they will supply me with a low latency driver for Linux ;) > Lee Revell wrote: > > How exactly does the hardware design not play nice with ALSA?

I've found several usenet articles suggesting the Digi96/8 is capable of latencies < 10 ms at least on Windows. Michael
