Re: Piping audio from Linrad to other applications?

[Dave Sublette <arrl.net; k4to@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I see you are looking at the Echo Indigo. I have one. I use it with my 
laptop and about 100 pounds of mics, mixer and cables to record a band I 
play in. Be aware, unless Echo has solved their problem, that boot up 
with a Windows XP machine is a bit of a crap shoot. I sometimes have to 
try three or four times before I can get it all to play. I am not a 
computer guy, but I am not the problem. The symptoms are that the laptop 
freezes during boot and you just have to start over an over until it 
works. You have to keep the the Echo unplugged, start the laptop, plug 
in the Echo "at some point" during the boot so the laptop will recognize 
the Echo, but past the point where the Echo causes the laptop to freeze. 
I was never able to determine just what "that point" was. It is a mess. 
When I called Echo they acknowledged the situation, but defined it as a 
problem with the Windows O/S. Right! The flea complains that the 
Elephant won't let it on for the ride....
