m-audio delta 1010 lt soundcard

[abstract]

hey all,
thinking of getting this for myself for xmas:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010LT.html
it's an 8 in/8 out pci soundcard $170-$199, and apparently one of the cheapest/best supported ways to go for linux multitrack recording. it's got the ice1712 chipset, so presumably envy24 would work to control it. AVlinux folks use "Mudita24" (which is, i guess, an updated envy24) with great success.
so... anybody got any experience with any of this? the card? the driver?
don't want to set up a separate box w/avlinux if i can help it - wanna see if this is pclinuxos-able.
thanks

Just had a look out of curiosity ......  the Linux driver available through the site seems to be from 2004  .....  I guess things have moved a long way since then ....

I've never used this card, but I believe that full support exists in the kernel and alsa, with no independent drivers necessary. envy24-control is in the repo, but if you want mudita24, you need to make a package request.

How this sound card to start working on PC Linux OS?

Linux is recognized, but not all work out or can be used.

maudio cards use the ice_1712 kernel module.
commands that reveal the card being recognized

aplay -l
aconnect -i
cat /proc/asound/cards

text you see within brackets or quotes, can be used in config dialogs,
without the brackets and quotes.

lsmod lists kernel modules. The blacklist test file in /etc/modprobe.d can receive
an entry for motherboard soundchip kernel module, like

blacklist snd_intel8x0

to avoid potential conflicts.
I would avoid the Audiophile 192, unless you can get a guaranteed return
policy from the seller. The Audiophile 24/96, and Delta models pose
few if any problems.

If you are familiar with qjackctl, you should have no problems. The card should
appear in the Setup page, at the Input Device/Output Device,
click the  >        to see a list of system sound hardware devices.

There is a qjackctl wiki at  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qjackctl

the last link has screenshots showing the connection process.
You may have to untick the Realtime checkbox on the setup page,
to run it as normal user. A new bug, or config oddity now exists.

Actually, you could run both avlin and pclos  from a live cd dvd or usbstick install,
and make a comparison test. The barebones pclos may have an advantage,
since av has included a wide array of apps.
