Hi Sean:
Yes, I've used ecasound on this machine. The problem isn't really the
software. The audio chipset is a consumer-grade CS4232 that really isn't
up to the task. I also have PDAudioCF card that works great, but it's
digital-in only.
Btw, the CS4232 works fine with JACK in simplex mode, but I get xruns
aplenty when the device is in full duplex mode. Not so usable for
multitracking.
Really, it's underpowered hardware if I want to do what I mean by
serious audio work. It's okay with non-realtime stuff though.
I agree that ecasound is excellent Linux audio software.
Best,
dp
