PCMCIA is ok, but not great for low latency. (adds one extra interface

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.
good point. now I start to remember the protocol mess and overhead of
1394 audio. - and hope I'll forget about it again soon.. ;)
No, you remember the mess from 1394-detection. Protocol-overhead allows 2x64
here with my presonus firepod...
The streaming protocol doesn't introduce problems with respect to
latency. The mess is indeed the detection procedure.
And ppalmers stated that firewire will be much better than netjack because of
fixed latency and guaranteed bandwidth and reaction time.
Compared to netjack we will totally rule :). But that's not for the next
release.
