To my untrained eye it just looked at bit much to have graphics cards, 2
sound cards and usb on one interrupt.

Yes, although using ICE1712 is a real pain. The sound quality is fine, but
it is very sensitive to changes in ALSA and config and not exactly
compatible with generic sound progs. It took me forever to get it working
with Arts back in 2002-2003.
It's been some time since I tried using Jack, but that worked about 6 months
ago. I've recently gotten dmix to work, and Mplayer keeps getting xruns
when outputting to ALSA. I haven't had time to look into it further.

Hmf, too bad it isn't a simple text file somewhere.


Thank you for your answer, I appreciate it.
