I have a phase88 rack FW and an ESI quatafire 610.
Don't get the ESI, because they don't update their firmware (they are
still using a 2 year old firmware, while the most recent reference
firmware dates from january). Therefore it is difficult to fully support it.
The Phase88 FW is nice. Very straightforward.
All devices you mention are BeBoB devices and are therefore supported by
the freebob project. we are going to release a first version of the code
really soon. This will allow you to use the BeBoB based devices with
jackd. If you want alsa, you'll have to use the jack<->alsa plugin.
The support is not complete yet, but all the basic things are present:
- Analog I/O at all samplerates supported by the device
- Digital I/O, depending on the format and firmware config. SPDIF out
mostly works, provided it's not AC3 passthrough.
- MIDI support through ALSA-Sequencer
Experimental support for:
- multiple devices on the bus using wordclock sync
Not supported yet:
- hardware zero-latency mixer control
- extended device configuration controls (front/back switches, sync
modes, ...)
- native ALSA support
Roundtrip audio loopback latencies are, depending on your system, around
5-7ms.
I think that everything you need for a basic setup is supported (except
for the mixer maybe). The more advanced stuff is going to be supported
in the next version. As we are cooperating with the chipset & device
vendors, we can assure you that all features of the devices will be
supported. It's just a matter of time.
Greets,
