[rescue] Pro audio on Sun

[Shawn Wallbridge]

I thought that Audio on MacOS X was _really_ good. I was talking with an
audio guy and he said Apple put a lot of work into Darwin to get the latency
really low specifically for audio.

One of my clients is a professional studio and about 90% of their machines
are Macs. They even had a TiBook with a fancy Firewire audio breakout box.
They loved it, they could do really good recordings anywhere.

Someone awhile ago had been asking about audio support better than the
on board hardware for Suns.

I was looking around and found that the RME DIGI32 (and in beta
DIGI96) cards are supported under Solaris and AIX.  You have to have a
PCI machine of course though.

I think this is great.  It means that people can easily program for
pro audio level gear without having to use MacOS or Intel or Irix
(Intel of course just sucks, and MacOS and Irix, while nice, make
audio a lot harder than most Unixs).

Now I need to find one of these cards at an affordable price.
