A 16-bit / 44KHz PCM audio stream is something like 1MB/s and the 32-bit / 33MHz PCI bus can support 133MB/s. I don't think their will ever be a PCI-X based sound card.... You can use a normal PCI card in a PCI-X slot so just buy an el-cheapo sound can an stick pop it in there.... We are talking about PCI-X and not PCI-eXpress, right? Heres a question for others to answer. How would you setup a sound alert if for example one of the drives in a RAID 1 failed? This would be for an ata-mkIII PseudoRAID mirror setup. And what about email or phone call alert?
