i have the m-audio delta audiophile 24/96, which is just like the delta
1010 (which i want) but only 2 analog ins and outs (plus stereo spdif in
and out). the deltas are great cards and much more affordable than the
hammerfalls, esp. if you just need analog i/o. latency with asio drivers
is *much* better on the hammerfalls, but with alsa and oss i don't know
how they compare. the hammerfalls and deltas are probably the only two
worth considering (terratec and hoontech (whoever they are) make cards
with the same chip as the deltas, and sell for less money, but support is
only listed as possible and not definite), and the choice is price vs.
performance.
fwiw,
dave
