Ah, yes, pretty straightforward if you are a bit Linux savvy :) Thanks.
Just a last general question: I noticed that there are a few companies
selling pre-assembled VortexBoxes. Some come even either with this SOtM
USB PCIe card or a soundcard like the Juli@ (newer version of my Maya).
Does VortexBox support these ootb? The Maya does 24/192 output but I
remember from the last time I used it under Debian it's not that easy to
get it to work: It's only supported by ALSA and SPDIF output never
works. The latter is no problem, since if I use the card, I would use
the analogue out anyways.
Today I also read for the first time about the SOtM USB PCIe card in one
of Archimago's blog posts. It's an interesting piece of hardware--but is
it really worth the money (350) compared to similar boards from other
chinese manufacturers for about 50?
