I see.
I thought that Ravenna interfaces (e.g. the Horus from Mergings)would be able to interact with a computer without any other audio interface,
and so if it would be open there would be no problem standing in the way for Linux compatible drivers.
Too bad really as I was getting excited that in the near future there would be no hardware limits for Linux users.

I feel a bit different about this.
Yes I'm getting work done nicely, RME 9652 works like a charm.
But there is a certain bummer in not being able to choose from the variety that's out there today. (Price, performance etc.)
Obviously my understanding of drivers is not so good, that's also the reason I asked.
Thanks for the elaboration.
Best Regards

software and OS support. Fun starts with hardware support for PtP and
audio interfaces with variable clocks. If you are looking for a cheap
solution to transfer audio data, you can use any technique. But if you
need realtime monitoring/audio producing, the demands are higher than
with a normal audio interface. At the moment :)

products from at least two different manufacturers. If you want to get
your work done. nothing stands in your way.
All Audio over IP-protocols just *transport* audio data. Then what?
