It's disgusting, regarding to similar recommendations I bought my

RME HDSPe AIO, but my HDSPe AIO can't be used for >= 12 channels, since

it's not completely supported for Linux.
To recommend hardware that isn't supported is bad :(.
Btw. as I mentioned several times before, RME was willing to help, but

no ALSA developer was interested to answer any request.

That's why I ask how to ensure what audio device _really_ is supported.

The _recommended_ device I own isn't _really_ supported. HDSPe cards are

recommended for >= 12 channels, but on Linux I only can use 2 ADAT IOs

of the HDSPe AIO, the other ADAT IOs aren't available and the latency is

very bad, but I anyway get xruns.

Not very good, simply untrue!
