Yes, but not the way you are planning. We have two machines in the same studio which are often used in conjunction (two different OS's). Both boxes talk digitally to one another via S/PDIF, and then they are routed one to the other for monitoring, etc. That said, I see no reason why two cards couldn't be used together, especially with JACK and the fact that m-audio cards tend to be brainlessly easy to set up in linux. Other than the issues I list below, they are pretty fool-proof and I think they sound great, even in comparison to an HDSP multiface we have around. > > I've read a few reviews that have tested this with mixed results, do > you > have any experience to share on this? Other than the concerns I listed, I am very happy with the 1010 in linux. The only box I have liked as much is the HDSP mentioned above, but it's more expensive and doesn't sound as good to my humble ear. Now that the HDSP driver is stable (and the mixer is working so well!) I'd say it's a toss up between these two boxes depending on you needs/finances (this is much discussed elsewhere on this list). Some people can't live without the HDSP's matrix mixer (it is cool) or it's cardbus interface, or it's extra digital I/O, others prefer the 1010's sound, it's cost (!), and it's long-time stability in ALSA.
