Thank you Chris,

but I can't find a PCIe version of this card. For my current setup PCI
might be the better solution, but I'll be ready for the near future. If
"now" should be a typo, I guess there are "no new" drivers, because PCIe
will replace PCI.

PS: Yes, the quality of the RME card is superb. For headphones I'm only
using the RME's output at the moment, I guess it's the best headphone
output I've got in my home studio and the hdspmixer is very convenient.
If the "matrix" could be edited, IOW if all or at least more IOs could
be assigned to jack capture/playback ports, I wouldn't replace this
card. OTOH with my mobo latency has to be very high to avoid xruns.
