Linux and Free Software :: M-Audio using open source software

While flipping through the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine I saw an ad that instantly caught my eye. It was an advert for M-Audio Podcast Factory with a picture of their included software....software that is instantly recognizable as Audacity. While they seem to make no mention of Audacity on their website, it's interesting to see GPL software having such a prominent role in commercial products (assuming, of course, that due credit is given....I hope this is the case).

I have been using your audacity builds with the alsa.dsl in DSL 1.5
for some time now..

It works great with both Delta 1010 and Delta 66 soundcards
( M-Audio ) They are the only soundcards in my dual cpu
boxen here at the studio..

I'm guessing the package you refer to is the M$ version.

Even without the low-latency kernel patches,
I get good results from this setup on my linux boxen as-is..

Thanks..

Avid has released some Linux drivers for the M-Audio firewire series that I would be interested in trying with DSL. I use the FW410 on my Windows machine at work with Audacity, and I love it. It would be awesome to get it going with a Linux box.
