I am not sure, but it seems to me the USB1.1 audio standard effectively

With my Edirol UA-25 lowest possible setting is 48/2 @ 48kHz.
I hadn't tried that... or to be honest 32/3. I have been lazy not thinking
outside the 16/32/64/128 box :)
This is the
smallest buffer size supported. I do not know, but it seems that fire
wire audio is about the same from what I have read (I don't have one of
my own to confirm).
With the FireWire interfaces I've owned I could go as low as 16/3 @
48kHz. But settings like this are unusable, DSP load qickly rises as
soon as you start doing something serious. Nice to brag about but that's
about it ;)
Is that the DSP load in the audio interface itself or the computer? I have
found that 16/2 at 48k for use with guitarix (in other words as an
effects rack) is very solid. (ice1712 pci interface) I am using a
lowlatency kernel, but not RT. No hyperthreading (got the i5 for that
reason) no CPU frequency changes. Not a super great tunning, but all the
low hanging fruit for sure. Any modern computer should be able to deal
with the load for at least some uses. Though I guess my atom should be
considered "modern"... it does really well down to 64/2, I will have to
try pushing a bit further, but I don't think it will go much lower and
still have cpu cycles to run the SW.
