There's no openbsd driver for echo cards, unfortunately The 1010LT model doesn't need external power supply, but doesn't have a breakout box either. But cables are robust imo. M-Audio revolution 7.1 is good qualit but is not supported yet. As far as I can say, the envy driver requires few minor teaks only to add support for it. Certain USB audio cards may be suitable for what you want, but would require heavy changes in the uaudio driver to get reliable full-duplex operation. -- Alexandre
