My need is to transfer two channels (that is, stereo) digitized sound back and forth between a Tascam CR-RW2000 and a Pentium-class desktop computer. The Tascam has both SP/DIF coaxial and AES/EBU inputs and outputs.

I have no need for multi-channel operation (other than stereo), nor for midi or routing.

Recent postings by Thomas Charbonnel make me lean toward purchase of a RME sound card, but I am confused as to which RME cards ALSA supports. I also am confused as to whether a "multiface" or "digiface" is required. The RME web site says that ALSA drivers are available for the DIGI9652 and the DIGI9636; but these models are not listed on the ALSA Sound Card Matrix web page.

Another possibility is to purchase a USB or Firewire device which supports SP/DIF or AES/EBU input and output.

The main consideration is ALSA support: which device (manufacturer and model) works reliably and bug-free under ALSA?
