I use a RME Raydat interface.
I managed to get no xruns while recording, and some xruns when using
virual instruments like setBfree (which I like very much).
I only use vanilla kernels with threadirq and I assign high priority
to the card interrupt.
The machine is sandy bridge with core i7 processor and 8GB ram.

About the Focusrite, Johannes Kroll is right the meter was removed
from the kernel driver (I don't know why). I was speaking about the
internal mixer, which can mix hardware inputs and computer outputs to
the hardware outputs of the card.

I use Ardour internal meter to check the input signals, I think the
lack of hardware metering is not a problem IMHO.

Ciao
