Hi Josh,

Here's Dave's can't-lose process:

0) Experiment to exhaustion.

1) Search Google with high hopes.

2) Send message of desperation to Linux Audio Users list.

3) Profit!

More seriously, the available tools (lspci, lsusb, etc) can tell you
what's there - possibly with default values - but they don't tell you
what's optimal. I'm not sure they could, given the influence of other
factors e.g. shared IRQs, interface bus, other hardware/mobo considerations.

A system analysis tool would be nice, especially one targeted to
configuring an audio production system for a Linux box.

Best,

dp
