Quite the opposite. PCMCIA is great for latency. That "extra" PCI bridge does NOT affect audio latency. Firewire latencies are bigger than PCI/PCMCIA and will always be. Ask Pieter Palmers for details. So if you are for low latency, PCI/PCMCIA is unbeatable. If you want numbers, I can provide them for Echo Indigo IO and RME MultifaceII. Ask somebody to jdelay their Firewire card.
