That also looks great. Nonetheless, the UCA202 is a bit cheaper and, as I use a POD x3, the RCA connectors are a bit more handy than the good old TRS connector. But both products appear to be just what the doctor ordered. Nice! Rui Maciel

Beyond that, this has been the first time I've heard about this particular company and the company doesn't state explicitly that it supports linux. But looks nice, though. Thanks for the help, Rui Maciel

Of course it depends on whether or not you need the digital input and output sockets and the ability to decode 5.1 audio streams, and whether or not the specifications for S/N etc are better than the alternatives. > Beyond that, this has been the first time I've heard about this > particular company Terratec is a well known company for sound cards and USB devices, and they have branched out into other areas eg DVB cards which also work well under GNU/Linux. > and the company doesn't state explicitly that it > supports linux. Neither does Creative. But the fact that ALSA states that they support the device is the important issue, not whether the company states that they support the device, perhaps with proprietary pre-compiled code which soon becomes out of date with kernel upgrades. Talking of Creative, you could consider their equivalent product <http://www.f13pc.COM/loja/detalhes.php?id=2071> and this has been reported to work with the GNU/Linux ALSA usb sound module but there appear to be people having problems getting it to fully work. > Thanks for the help Well I do hope you find the device most appropriate to your requirements.

No. I wouldn't have thought that stupidity could run that deep. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".
