<br>
Thanks for pointing the RME stuff out to me. The Multiface with
Express card option looks like it will do the trick... and I agree
with you in that I don't mind paying decent money for hardware that
works well. My question: is there a software interface for these
cards in Linux? I currently use An M-Audio Delta-1010 with Jack and
Ardour. The Envy24control program is really nice for controlling level
and routing in the Delta 1010, I'm wondering what exists for the RME
stuff or how you manage this type of thing.<br>

Yes. The alsa-tools package contains two programs: hdspmixer and
hdspconf. They almost exactly mirror an older version of the Windows
HDSP tools, though the "matrix" mixer option is missing and the card
configuration dialog is laid out a bit differently. These tools are
maintained by faberman, who sometimes lurks in #ardour, #lad and #jack
on freenode.<br>
<br>
And thank you for buying an interface from a vendor who (more or less)
supports Linux. In addition to supporting on-going FOSS development, it
makes our lives easier since you will have fewer headaches down the
road.<br>

That's correct: the Digiface only has digital I/O. (Except for the<br>
headphone port on the front.)<br>
<br>
I use Behringer ADA8000 A/D and D/A converters to get (up to) 24<br>
channels in and out at the same time. More than you're looking for, I<br>
know, but it's nice to have room to grow, right?<br>
