Hi Alan, I don't have experience with professional soundcards like ASI, but I think the great benefit is in terms of latency... But I am not an expert.
We have M-Audio Delta 1010, obviously via ALSA driver. We bought it one year ago, 2nd hand, for 150€ and we are quite happy about it. We changed the D-Sub 25 cable with a longer one (10mt), no problem. You should use 'envy24control' to tweak a bit, but we couldn't manage to set levels properly. Here in Europe it's still in shops... Maybe alternatives could be - Esi Esu1808 - ECHO Layla3G Alessio 2013/4/12 Alan Smith <[email protected]> > Hi Everyone, > > Got a two parter here: > > 1) Aside from hardware mpeg decoding, what features does an ASI 6xxx > have in Rivendell that cannot be utilized with ALSA sound cards? > > 2) What is a good alternative card?
