Hello,

I'm looking into writing my own audio distribution software that would consist of 4 analog inputstreams, 6 digital inputstreams (generated from within the system, eg. mp3-player) and one 5.1 dolby digital input stream (generated by dvd software). I would like to distribute any of these 16 streams to my 9 analog outputs.

My eye fell on the M-Audio Delta 410 (http://www.midiman.com/products/m-audio/delta410.php) since it is capable of handling 2 analog inputs and 8 analog outputs at very nice characteristics. The two missing inputs and one output could be provided by one of the soundcards I have left over from some old system.

As I understand, all Delta cards are supported that have the Envy24 chipset. Is this also true for the Delta 410 ? Does anyone have any experience using this card under Linux ?

Would I be able to drive all my 9 outputs at the same time using different inputs ?

Is anyone doing the same thing, maybe using a different card ?

Are there alternative cards to the Delta 410 that have better linux support and are worth considering ?

Would it be possible to get 5 old sound cards and combine them into one system without getting interrupt conflicts etc.

Any comments or good resources on audio programming are always very welcome, since I can't wait to get get this system up and running.

Best regards,

Kristof Pelckmans

not all but most of them.

it's not supported on alsa yet.

even it using an ice1712 chip, we need the other important information
such like the mixer soundchips and its connection.
otherwise you cannot hear anything.

iirc, it's partly possible by a certain configuration.
but perhaps it's more difficult to set up it than you imagine...

no.

other delta cards?  terratec ones are also well supported (except for
DMX 6fire - only analog outputs work so far)

five isa cards are almost impossible, because they hog too much
resource.  pci wouldn't be a problem.


ciao,
