M-Audio Firewire Audiophile

I got my Ms Pinky system setup yesterday, and I must say, I'm quite impressed. The latency is so low I don't notice any delay -- it's awesome.
Since the Audiophile only has one analog, and one digital input, but 4 analog outputs, I had to run one table analog and one digital. The digital setup seemed to be a little more finicky, but after some tweaking it was running perfect (with a much lower error metric than the analog!)
What I'm running:
2x Stanton SRT8-80
- One outputting analog RCA
- One outputting s/pdif
Stanton SMX-201 Mixer
M-Audio Firewire Audiophile
3.2EEGhz, 2GB RAM, PC
My only complaints are with the software interface, it was a little confusing at first, and I still haven't figured out if I can setup a playlist for each deck. But once you get the hang of how things work it's alright.
I plan on trying to write a Winamp plugin for MsPinky to solve those problems -- I just downloaded the SDK, and we'll see what happens.
