hello Franck and Jose,<br>
I've been using a delta 1010 (LT) and can testity that it has worked
great with pd (midi as well) (one config with 6 channels and one config
with 4 channels+spatialisation). Sound quality is good (analog outputs
are non-symetric though). And well, i was using ubuntu - that i would
recommend for its simplicity (i found it quite easy and reliable to
setup a debian-like install this way).<br>
<br>
Frank, could you may be explain a bit more what were your thoughts
concerning this distro?<br>
Is it related to the kernel realtime-capabilities?<br>
or some more general flaws?<br>
<br>
by advance thanks,<br>

should be needed for such a project?

If you just need 6 channel audio out, than most soundcards can do this
in these days of "surround sound". If you want good quality you may
want to buy something like the M-Audio Delta 1010(LT). Many cards
based on that chipset (ICE1712/1724) are supported well by ALSA, they
have great sound quality and lots of channels. If you need more than
12 mono channels out, you will need to buy a RME card.
Regarding Linux: just install Demudi or Debian with the Demudi kernel.
I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu for your setup.
Ciao
