Re: M-Audio FastTrack C400

I do not get that message anymore.

Fixing the "return 0" back to "break" results in the device not even 
registering, back to the -5 error from the beginning of this thread.

I'll capture more and get back to you.

The following derails the thread a bit:

As far as switching devices, I'm open. Due to a bug with a PCIE-PCI 
bridge on my mainboard, I cannot use any PCI devices (I've got a Delta44 
collecting dust). I really just want to find a single device, USB or 
Firewire (or PCIE), which works flawlessly in both Windows and Linux. 
Instrument/Mic input as well as independent balanced out and headphones.

Any thoughts on this?
