Hey Cyrille,

How big is the external USB soundcard? I'm really interested in the Pi as a very small device for running Pd, and my USB soundcard is good but really big compared to the form factor of the Pi. I'd be interested if anyone has found a soundcard that works well and has the same compact style - the cheap ebay dongle-sized ones may not be so good, but they are small. Does anyone have a good experience with one of these on a Pi or a regular PC machine?

I'd like to build installations with many Pi's emitting sound all at once, and so a small soundcard is a good thing :)

using 0.44, we manage to have it running with 25ms audio buffer using an external usb soundcard.
85% cpu about. no clicks.
