[RWP] Looking for external sound card

[Derek Lane]

I wonder if anyone has ever gotten any good results with cobbling a bunch of 
junk machines together with reastream, and using each one like a card in an 
old protools rig?
I just finished amusing myself by running a bunch of waves plugins in 
realtime on my netbooks audio, with practically no more delay than the 
internal latency of said netbook.
Granted, my daw was doing the processing, I was just using 2 reastreams as a 
send/return for the remote processing.
