even as we speak)

I want to do:
Csound, PD, remote recording (ardour), concert hall
performance/real-time stuff (rtmix), and
ambisonic/multi-channel playback (vspace/ambidec).

I'm still struggling with this box, mainly because the
internal card is *junk* (pops, clicks, bad levels
in/out, etc). Unfortunatley it cannot be disabled in
the BIOS, and it causes constant conflicts with the
other card (HDSP). Drivers must be constantly
unloaded, reloaded.
But I have a few more tricks up my sleave, so perhaps
the Dismal/Dedicated status can be updated later.
