It only works in 44.1/16 mode under Linux. But that's fine for me.

UA-25's also tend to be pricey. If I can find one for under US$100 I'll get one and sell the FastTrack.

I haven't thought of asking M-Audio to tell me what magick bits to flip on the FastTrack Pro, because I'm expecting they won't.
