Ok great... then I know. I think the hardware limitation (that is that you run it either in ADAT or S/PDIF mode, not both at the same time) is stated in the info for the card when you buy it, so it should not be necessary to have the same info in the driver page. As long as the hardware is fully supported there should not be necessary for any further notes. Well, there actually is one limitation -- the driver does not support running the card in "multi-stereo device mode", which is a hardware hack to make the card simulate multiple stereo sound cards (I think it is to support old Microsoft Windows pcm APIs). ALSA makes such things redundant though, so I don't think it is a limitation worth mentioning. There is simply no reason for using the card that way when there is proper multi-channel support in the pcm API. /Anders ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
