To recommend hardware that isn't supported is bad :(. Btw. as I mentioned several times before, RME was willing to help, but no ALSA developer was interested to answer any request.

The _recommended_ device I own isn't _really_ supported. HDSPe cards are recommended for >= 12 channels, but on Linux I only can use 2 ADAT IOs of the HDSPe AIO, the other ADAT IOs aren't available and the latency is very bad, but I anyway get xruns.
