The Terratec EWS88MT is a very affordable multichannel soundcard with ALSA support that has unfortunately been discontinued, as I understand from their distributors. It is replaced by the Phase 88, which appears to be a very similar card and might in fact just be a rebranded EWS88MT.
Someone replaced the PCI ID in the EWS ALSA driver with that of the Phase 88, and was able to play back sounds via ALSA. Recording and mixing seems to be a problem, though.
I plan on buying some of these cards in the near future, but I need recording functionality using JACK. Without an ALSA driver, I therefore can't use it.
Is there anyone working on a driver for this card? Could the people who wrote the EWS driver maybe look into this?
If this driver doesn't materialize soon, are there any alternative affordable multichannel soundcards (meaning 8-channel cards costing about $400) I can consider?
Thanks very much in advance,
Ludwig Schwardt
