I've got my audio machine running Debain/GNU Linux and everything is great. I'm using the ALSA emu10k1 driver for a SoundBlaster Live! card.
The only thing strange is that the slider in RAT for "Talk" adjusts the volume locally recorded audio is played back through line-out to the Gentner and speakers, not the actual capture level of line-in from the Gentner and mics. Is this a bug? Cheers, -- Gavin W. Burris aka 86 Senior Systems Programmer Penn State Visualization Group http://viz.aset.psu.edu/ga5in
