i used the rme digi96/8 with the alsa drivers, but my system crashed regularly. couldn't figure out why, but other people running pd with alsa.
I cannot recommend the digi96/8 if you need very low latency.
i read that the ST Audio DSP2000 C-Port should also run with alsa (www.staudio.com) and it's much cheaper than the hammerfall.
do you want to use it for your concerts or for an installation?

to keep it short: for multichannel sound in Linux, are there other choices than the RME Hammerfall cards?
