Hi David, and thanks. I'm planning to use an MAudio Delta66 or similar breakout box, actually. I need multichannel!
The main thing I'm curious about is whether a new mobo has come out since 2004 that is better for the money than the EPIA MII 12000G 1.2Ghz. All the docs about Linux + audio + Mini-ITX are at least three years old! best, d.
