Yes, I'm aware of all this - except there being a USB2 audio standard now? We're not really bothered about such a device having any inputs- just would've been a nice addition. > > If your laptop allows it, I can recommend a firewire-device like the focusrite > saffire pro24 which would do 4 analog inputs and 6 analog outputs at 44kHz, > 48kHz and 96kHz.

We've got a saffire pro26 but can't afford another nor use it on the laptop in question. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
