ESI ESP1010 Supported?

Hi,

Posted to the ALSA user mailing list too but thought I’d check to see if any Ardour users have used an ESI ESP1010 audio interface and if anyone knows how well supported it is?

I’m looking to buy a new card since you can’t do too much with a Creative SoundBlaster Live. The ESI looks good with two mic preamps and balanced in/out. If only the Echo Audio cards were slightly cheaper I’d go for them since I know they’re properly supported.

Are there any issues with this card that I should know before I buy?

Thanks in advance.
