Haha - good luck with that. Seriously, though, if you actually find examples that are currently available (i.e. I can order one from Sweetwater/Musiciansfriend/etc.) and supported by their manufacturers, please post your results. I would be very interested to know this myself. One of the main sticking points I've run into as I consider switching my DAW to Linux is the lack of support for audio/MIDI interfaces. Linux developers seem to be doing their best to write drivers, but many manufacturers either ignore Linux, or are downright hostile to it (and its users). I got lectured on the Mackie Forums when I asked into a Linux driver for my Mackie 400F FW audio interface. "Who cares about Linux?", "Linux sucks, and Linux users/developers suck more", "I don't even use a Mac, let alone Linux - people only care about Windows", were the attitudes I ran into there. I think the company's official position re: Linux is probably a little more diplomatic, but that is the kind of response I got from one guy in particular who I had thought was a Mackie rep. To get started, assuming you haven't already seen these, you can look here: www.ffado.org and here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page Bon chance! ld > > Thanks a lot for yours answers, > > Laurent > > -- > Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list > [email protected] > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/ > listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
