I gave up trying to make a headless softsynth out of it, because it wouldn't boot off of a USB flash drive. Now that I have the Atom-based EEE, that's working out rather well as a portable softsynth, so I'm trying to find another use for the Micro-ITX since it's been sitting around unused for many mohths. > > The studio has two Digidesign Firewire audio interfaces there, one with 4 inputs and one with 8.

Oh well. gscanbus showed the firewire interface just fine, and the binary package of FreeBoB doesn't seem to include the "test-freebob" script and tools. > > I dunno. Should I go with Sid?

I upgraded to Lenny repos and now have a stable, current 64studio system for work with my audiofire2 (which is right now under warranty repair...). You can see the process here: http://www.64studio.com/node/586 and then here: http://www.64studio.com/node/599 Let me know if you have any questions, etc! but the process itself was just another step, and some additional troubleshooting for my laptop (mostly the synaptics touchpad), so hopefully it is also straightforward for you, too! cheers, ethan _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
