i'm considering investing in a RME Digi96-8 card along with an AEB8-O card for output. Have scanned through the Pd archive for info - but i'm still a uncertain about its workability.
Has anyone used this card on Linux with Pd and if so, what drivers, audio configurations(OSS, ALSA), kernels etc work?
Yes I have. I works with the ALSA drivers, but the latency is not as good as Hammerfall, since it has a Audiobuffer of ca. 20ms on Card and no dirct o memory access (which on computers avout 300MHz make about 10%CPU on 8 channels). It works also reliable with AES/EBU and ADAT 8 channels. In an Installation I have it now running about 2years-24h nonstop.
I did not test the 96kHz stuff.
