I don't know of any linux support of any kind for a firewire audio device. ALSA does not support usb at this time, but you can use some usb devices witih the kernel drivers. Which means anything that requires ALSA will not run, of course. I can't comment on low-latency performance of any of this gear... just passing on what I've heard many times on alsa list & elsewhere... --PW
