There is the Chameleon. Several of the PCI DSP dev boards work in linux I think. With the consumer audio targetted ones I think you end up paying for the DSP code they come with (reverbs and such), which may or may not be usable under linux. > Can we live without a good DSP & 24x96? Not me. It should be viable on host CPUs relativly shortly, 32bit floating point is allreaddy the norm, and moving to 96k is just a binary order of magnitude more processing, 18 months away if Moore's holds. Granted its not as reliable as DSP tech (you end up wasting a lot of cycles to occasional extra load and UIs), but I think its cheaper overall. - Steve
