Hi, Luke. I have a request for backport. And only if it's not too hard. The driver for echoaudio indigo iox I understand the driver is on 30 but not on 29. FYI -- I use UbuntuStudio for a single-purpose audio application. I use my Ubuntu for dictation, using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 and wine. (My machine is "all business.") Pulseaudio is purged on my machine. RT kernel runs noticeably faster than generic in the above scenario.
