Hhmmm ... I already don't even know about hardware that support 64 bit audio; I 
also just have some soundblaster ... ;-)

But what about contacting your contact persons of rme and/or midiman in brazil?
I think they are interested to borrow you some adequate hardware for testing 
purposes under linux ... assumed they already have such a hardware! ;-)

:-)) hehe, good idea! :-))
Maybe this funny innuendo will cause the alsa developers to give better support 
or writing better documentations in the future? ;-)
