Now that that can't happen due to various reasons, I might have to trade this card up for something else. I hear the various M-Audio options all work quite well in Linux. -- Darren _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
