Re: [PLUG] External Soundcard

[Matt Singleton <msingle1@sccs.swarthmore.edu>]

I have soundblaster usb soundcard, and it hasn't worked properly until 
very recently.  It has a 48000kHz DAC, but no 44100, and so audio has to 
be upsampled by the driver.  Using Ubuntu 6.06 (kernel 2.6.15), the usb 
audio driver is finally doing this properly (at least I assume it's the 
driver and not some Ubuntu-specific magic).  I wouldn't recommend a 
soundblaster card for professional audio, but this is at least a 
promising development for usb audio.

I've heard good things about MAudio, including their USB devices, but I 
don't have one, so I can't comment specifically on their Linux support. 
 Just be cautious, and try before you buy if at all possible.
