They *DO* know and understand the difference between consumer and 'pro' audio. PA just isn't meant for the latter. I wonder what your problem is. There is no audio production software I know of that uses or depends on PA. It's going to stay that way. So _it doesn't matter_ if PA doesn't support your soundcard. I'd even say it's a good thing that PA stays away from anything 'pro'. Ciao, -- FA Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal, die Sonne scheint - ein Glitzerstrahl.
