RE: [microsound] new external sound "card" from soundblaster

["Grammenos, Peter" <peter.grammenos@xxxxxx>]

there are other bigger differences, namely with USB is host centric (ie. the
CPU must initiate every transaction [ bottleneck ]) Not so with Firewire, it
uses DMA. 

It's also a bit master @ 400Mbps ... just a bit ;)

Wireless ethernet will become the way forward once it becomes faster.. it's
slower than USB at 11Mbps.

I think firewire is a temporary pipe that's just a bit fatter.  Wireless
ethernet is the way forward.
