I want to test my RME HDSPe AIO sound card, because on Linux I only can use 2 of the 8 ADAT IOs. The driver doesn't support more, OTOH I can use the card's internal mixer with Linux. I googled for FLOSS *NIX and existing drivers and besides Linux I only found FreeBSD supporting this card. If I shouldn't be able to test all IOs with FreeBSD, I need to install Windows and who likes to do this ;)? Linux can be used for professional audio production, assumed you don't need compatibility with most other professional studios and assumed you won't produce top 40 charts music, since auto-tune isn't available for Linux. I'm using Linux for the home studio only, when I worked as engineer I anyway preferred analog gear and for my old homestudio analog gear + SMPTE to sync a hard real-time capable sequencer, IOW the Atari ST. FWIW using jack2 with alsarawmidi on a well tuned Linux PC, there also isn't MIDI jitter anymore. Regards, Ralf
