I cared about getting hardware that should play ball, my RME card doesn't work ok. Already many years ago I experienced issues with hardware that isn't related to audio. I e.g. got a 56k modem praised as working with Linux and indeed most revisions of the modem did, but even the vendor forgot to mention, that just one of several revisions doesn't and I exactly got this revision. Most of the times I had good luck and send back the hardware and got my money back, but for e.g. the RME card I didn't test it extensive within the time, when it was possible to get the money back. Hardware combinations come with a lot of pitfalls. Your hardware might be ok now, but if you need to replace something, the trouble could start. However, I experienced the RT patches most of the times as the best solution for audio and MIDI, but until now, the last patch after the 3.8.13-rt patches, the only working patch is 3.10.47-rt50, all other newer patches already lock my machine at startup. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
