[9fans] What USB audio device are you using?

[John Floren]

Here's an open question to anyone using USB audio on Plan 9: What
device are you using? How well does it work?

I'm looking for something I can get on Amazon; my T22 has been silent
long enough!

I got this: http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-CM-UAUD-Adapter-C-Media-Chipset/dp/B001MSS6CS

Haven't tried too hard to get 9 to use it, but it's usb and linux has
the code too.  Audio quality is high, that is until you plug in a mic
and line-in and line-out signals get mixed.

Btw John, I just got that 'real' 3-button optical logitech-made mouse
from IBM you'd mentioned.  It beats cleaning the gunk out of your old
logitechs (if their buttons even still work).  I've also used the
Evoluent, but I can't tolerate its vertical column of buttons which
don't give you the table's normal force, so you get a cramp.

I am also looking for an audio device. On a related note do I need to
get a plan9 supported audio device if I am using drawterm on a linux
terminal with a linux audio to connect to a cpu server with no audio
device? I am guessing drawterm can use the linux audio driver and cpu
server will just serve the pcm data? I really how that works, but
though I might as well ask.

Yes, as long as you have compiled drawterm (rather than downloading
the precompiled linux version, in my experience), it'll play using the
Linux device. The downside, of course, is that it has to stream PCM
data across the network, which is ungood on wireless or the Internet,
but acceptable across a LAN.
