It's a shame, because I have an M-Audio pci device (delta 1010) and I am
very happy with it.
You should perhaps cc this thread to the M-Audio guys, so to put a bit
of pressure on them.
More in general, we should consider (imho) to collect and publish a well
publicized 'Top Ten Linux Friendly Audio Devices Vendors and Models'
list based on our experience. And perhaps a 'Top Ten Linux *Unfriendly*
Audio Devices Vendors' list, also.
The alsa-project one uses a bottom-up approach: what card do you have?
yes it works/No it doesn't. I imagine something more like: are you
buying a card? what price tag? well, the best around is XYZ! And
*please* avoid ABC!!!
Just my 0.2 Euro Cents.
