[Cialug] Linux audio card and driver

[David Champion]

The AWE64 probably isn't going to be clean enough for Radio work. I 
think that uses a similar chipset to the SBLive! cards, and audio people 
really rag on that one for noise levels.

Here's a resource that may help you out, Roger.

Creative has a new line of high-end "E-MU" audio cards that allegedly 
use some nice hardware. They also have an optional external box with 
lots of inputs & outputs, and knobs and stuff. Don't know if there's any 
linux support for it yet.
