Lee,

What patch is that...is it public or for your personal use? ReasonI ask
is I also thing the performance of the SBlive card on linux is *very*
good for the buck...I get Sblive5.1's for $19.00 OEM. I also peeked at
the "Cheap man's multichannel card how to" and it has me thinking for
$60.00 I can have me 6 ins, 12 or 18 outs and a heckova cheap and
usefull multi channel box. I use the Delta 1010LT in my production box
but never can have too many! :) Latency was not super great on
SBLive...512 x 2 would produce no Xruns on 2.4.22 kernel and MDK 9.2.
Thats the last I used it. Buty that was also very liveable for like an
outbourd Digital FX rig for a PA and such.

Cheers.
