One of the main disadvantage I see in comparision with my previous portable FX project, which used an UMPC which had a touch screen instead of a headless device, is that if you're constantly improving the thing I miss a display in the thing, instead of having a TV or similar around. Another issue is that I have to connect an external audio card to have a decent audio quality and RT capabilities. On the UMPC I managed to use even the internal audio card and mic, so I only had to port this device with me. But that's what it is, at least for RPi. -- Carlos sanchiavedraz * Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.es _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
