Hi,

I'm considering buying of ESI UGM96 - the USB soundcard with 2
guitar inputs and line/headphone outputs.
Unfortunately the manufacturer does not provide any information
about Linux compatibility of this device
(http://www.esi-audio.com/products/ugm96/ )
Has anybody any experiences with running it under Linux?
Is it correctly handled by ALSA? Are all controlls available
e.g. via ALSA mixer?

Thank you very much in advance,
Wojtek

I've found the following info :

Unfortunately I don't know French, and the babelfish translation:

was not of the best quality.
Generally it seems that this device should work with Linux, but it is
unknown if all functions are available.

The French message is rather positive, but mentions two problems:
1) impossible to record in 24 bit mode at 96 KHz
2) the RT kernel of Ubuntu 8.10 is called buggy. There was a
recommendation to downgrade to Ubuntu 8.04, but o/p solved it by
compiling a Zen kernel, which was apparently devised by someone using
Linux for real-time music processing.
