I've been an Echo and MAudio Firewire user for a good while now. I'd like to try a MOTU.
Which ones work in Linux? It'd be nice to be able to access live monitoring functions if possible.
Which MOTU interfaces work well with Linux?

Re: Which MOTU interfaces work well with Linux?
Since nobody has answered this (quiet here these days)...
The MOTU Traveler (MK1 tested so far) works GREAT. FFADO Mixer pulls it up right away. Jack works great for the audio. But... the default firewire needs to be blacklisted.
I'd bet most MOTU Firewire interfaces work similarly.
I can get latency down to like 1ms with only 30 percent CPU on an i7 desktop computer.
EDIT: Note that Periods seem to need to be set to 3 in Jack. This hasn't been the case with most other interfaces I've used.
