Hi, Did you check the ALSA pages, in particular http://www.alsa-project.org/soundcards.php3 ? It is the place where the cards supported by ALSA are listed. However, I did not found any information about the interfaces you mention. If an interface is not in the list, it may however be supported: some cards use standard chips and the driver support is most of the time related to the chipset and not to the card itself. You may search in the alsa-user mailing list (check ALSA pages). You may also ask the manufacturer: Midiman mentions Linux on their site and it does not hurt to ask them. Another point is the type of the interface: AFAIK, serial or parallel port interfaces are supported in ALSA. Some USB interfaces are supported, but this depend on firmware and thus on the cooperativeness of the hardware maker. Regards, Fran�ois D�chelle
