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.
Is anybody using a firewire card through a PCMCIA adpter? I hesitate to use a firewire card because I want something that's bus-powered, but this laptop only has a 4-pin firewire. I'm leaning perhaps to the Edirol UA-25, but the presonus Firebox is 4in/6out instead of 2in/2out (Analog) so if it's not a problem to run it through a PCMCIA firewire card then I think that's what I would go with. Both seem to have decent Linux support, as far as I can tell. -spencer _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
