I was hoping somebody on the list can offer suggestions or links to hardware...
I've been using Voyage, in combination with an Alix (2d2 and 3d2), and MPD (music player daemon), for some time as a very stable USB music server. Recently, I've been wantting to experiment with Voyage and MPD on a single board computer utilizing a high end PCI sound card. Something along the lines of a ESI Juli@ (http://www.esi-audio.com/products/julia/) or an ASUS Sonar ds (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132013). These are standard PCI cards that also require +12v and -12v at the PCI slot, from what I've researched. Currently, the Alix 1d (as per the designer) does not offer -12v, and the +12v would need to be supplied manually. Anybody have any suggestions for a minimalist, headless single board computer that would support a standard PCI card? I see that Soekris offers the net5501, but the board is a bit complicated (4 ethernet, SATA, etc) for a simple audio appliance. Many of the COTS SBC I have researched that do offer PCI are saddled with a host of on board (VGA, SATA or IDE, audio) that I'm trying to avoid. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
