Linux offers hardware independence
CanDetect still uses the Open Sound System (OSS)
- All models of sound card basically look the same
- Work in progress to transition CanDetect source to ALSA
Linux treats sound interfaces on the USB bus the same
- Use several sensors without needing additional PCI slots
- The external bus separates the computer and sensor further
because the sensor plugs into the sound card, not the computer,
and the computer can be a strong source of magnetic noise !
Potential to add support for expensive DAS boards
- At my day job we use a 12 output and 12 input port board
