The "ELRAD magazine's digital IO soundcard "Take Five"" Georg
mentioned on the ALSA list on January the 11th also used a FPGA (if I
remember right ...).
I alsa mentioned creating an open card a year ago on this list - I have
the German c't selfmade project "Romea&Julia", which is a ISA card
with a Motorola 56k DSP and an External board useing Cristal chips. I
was mostly designed for realtime effects running on the DSP ...
I would be interessted in a multi-channel (like the Hammerfall or
Midiman Delta 1010), maybe having a Motorola or TI DSP to run effects
directly on it). Since PCI is a bit ocmplicated to handle, might
Firewire be a nice solution?
