[Alsa-user] Alternative to Audiophile 2496 ?

[Christof D. <cd...@gu...>]

Hello,
ok just in case the audiophile + a mixer doesn't make me happy: What
alternatives are there to this card. This is what I want:

- RCA Jacks on the card for analogue input and output
- additional digital input/output 
- software gain control
- full alsa support
- 24bit/96khz AD/DA
- about the same price as the Audiophile

the "Hoontech SoundTrack Audio DSP24 Value" looks good for example,
but I don't know if it supports software gain, from looking at the
alsa driver i would say maybe. Is this the same card as the
http://www.staudio.com/products/dsp24ve/info.html ? 

The Terratec EWX 24/96 is an option too, but they have a bit crap
attitude towards linux.

any opinions ?
