I've got an extra hard drive around, and the Linux thread has me motivated, so I'm going to throw a Linux partition on my HTPC. Question's about drivers for the 410. I couldn't find any on M-Audio's site, but I've read that they are supported. ALSA's site says use the ice1712 driver. Is that what I should use, or does M-Audio have different drivers?
Also, I'm assuming I'll use digital out instead of the analog outs for the time being (at least for watching DVD). But what control is available for multi-channel analog outs? I'm assuming that the level of control available through the current Windows drivers isn't available through Linux currently. Is this true? And if so, are there plans to implement that control for Linux (I guess this is a Cliff question)? Thanks.
