I would like to point out that the Delta drivers have problems of their own too. Right now I am running a Delta 1010 which is an incredible setup. MUCH cleaner sound than the MOTU 2048MkII which I had an returned. Now that I finally have the delta working, it was well worth the money. But I had major driver issues (although in Win2K and Win98SE) so I was curious of others experience with the setup in Linux? One of the problems I had is when I would set the card to monitor on CH1, I would hear nothing. I had to reinstall the driver a few times per M-Audio advice and finally I got CH1 to monitor. Now I don't touch the control panel for it, haha, I want it to stay working!!
I also wanted to point out for those who are not aware, be very weary of the VIA chipset on many AMD motherboards. Apparently there are some communication issues between the north and south bridge chips and it causes quite a bit of latency. I have the IWILL KK266 motherboard and experienced these problems. I found an unofficial patch that seems to fix the problem, but just wanted others to be aware, because it is REALLY fustrating!
