<br><br>Yeah, I hear on the FreeBob list that it's getting better. I think<br>audio at 44K & 48K is in pretty good shape actually. There are still a<br>great number of things to work on before it becomes really useful:
<br><br>1) MIDI - there's a hack that allows some MIDI now. That's cool.<br>2) There is no configuration app like hdspconf for the HDSP line so<br>you cannot change clock sources or anything like that.<br>3) No hardware monitoring. (Does this work for anyone? I'm not sure...)
<br><br>None the less it's a good accomplishment ot get this far. They are<br>nicely tied in with the right 1394 developers so that's pretty cool.<br>I'm excited to look at this again in a few months.<br><br>- Mark<br></blockquote>
