The Hoontech AudioDSP card and C-Port ARE supported under Linux using
the
ALSA drivers already. Just use the standard ice1712 driver and
envy24control
program.
I have the big brother to the C-Port (the one with separate external DAC
and
ADC racks with mic-preamps on each input) and have no problems playing
back
multi-channel stuff under Linux. I havn't tried multi-channel recording
with
it yet (under Linux anyway), although I'm sure it should work with no
problems.
