Hello,

I had the same worries that you have when I was going to buy an interface for my linux audio computer, so I may help you.

Let me tell you that the 610 is meant to solve all the problems of the 410 in which it's based and which is mostly incompatible with any system, including Windows and Mac. And since M-Audio wont release give support for linux, I would take a chance with that interface.

Firewire interfaces are somewhat difficult to put to work in Linux, but if you take a look in ffado.rog you'll notice there are some that look very good that have similar characteristics and of the M-Audio 610:

ECHO Audio Fire 4 http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/FireWire/AudioFire4/index.php

Edirol FA-66 http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=731&ParentId=114

Edirol FA-101 http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.php?ProductId=702&ParentId=114

Among others. The rest you can find here: http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport%2Flist&filter0=&filter1=&op2=OR&filter2[]=perfect

Check Focusrite which they have send to ffado directly so they can test them for compatibility and also is the company that makes pre-amps for Digidesign of Pro-tools.

I never tried this interfaces, but I'm sure there are several users that can tell you about them in the list.

On the other hand, I decided to buy the M-Audio Fast Track Pro an USB interface that worked out of the box in linux. In my little knowledge, I've heard that USB audio interfaces work better on linux.

Anything else I can help you just write me.

Saludos from Colombia.
