As far as USB, I have the M-Audio Mobile Pre and it works under alsa.  But it 
only does two tracks.  And the one I have needs some solder work done on the 
usb cable connector.  

Firewire is probably the better route to go in terms of number of available and 
supported devices.  Most USB devices seem to dawn from the USB 1.1 days and 
haven't changed much if at all since.  But there are a number of nice usb based 
microphones these days if you'd like to go that route.  Most usb devices don't 
exceed 16 bit @ 48 kHz sampling.  Firewire seems more capable than USB for 
higher sampling rates and multiple channels.  (if only my laptop had firewire).

[Alsa-user] looking for a 4 (or 8) tracks firewire sound card supported by ALSA

2007-10-02 Thread Benoit Rouits
hello,
I'm a musician having a laptop to edit my music files and the stereo
chipset of the laptop is really crappy (noisy). i need to buy a 4 tracks
(at least) firexire sound card supported by ALSA. I looked for MOTU,
RME, M-AUDIO but they do not seem to provide simple cards as the
delta-44 PCI. Has some of you any goood experience with a firewire or
USB2 sound card with at least 4 simultaneous tracks ?
thanks for the hint.
