Well, except for that the new PCIe cards do all the floating-point conversion in hardware and present 32-bit float instead of 32-bit integer data on the bus. If the alsa driver handles this, then ok. If not then you'll have to
wait. Those running OSX on Intel machines with PCI slots already got
hit by this format issue.

Thanks for posting this. I've been thinking of getting one of the HDSP MADI cards and didn't know if the PCIe version would work or not. I guess I'll wait.
