    If by small form factor you mean half-height PCI, I really only know consumer sound cards. I’ve never seen a half-height pro-card.

    ASUS Xonar DX is half-height, but has serious problems with the ASIO drivers (input basically unusable).

    ESI Juli@ is a nice pro-card, and not technically half-height, but it comes in two parts which connect together.

    If you were to extend these headers, you’d be able to mount it at a 90 degree angle, and then it would probably fit in your small form factor case.

    Or, you could just use an external audio interface.

    That’s all the advice I can give without knowing more about what you’re trying to do. Feel free to elaborate 🙂.

    Thanks Leif..I am getting involved in a group of internet broadcasters and wished to feed live audio to a pc running your product and then send that processed feed to the FLE (Flash Live Encoder) with no delay. When you say external are they’re any that work with your product. I am ready to purchase but need to have all my ducks in a row before i purchase Breakaway LIVE
    Again thanks from Hartford CT USA

    I believe you should be able to run Breakaway Live on the same machine as Flash Live Encoder, with no additional audio hardware. Simply let Breakaway Live record from the existing sound card, and set the Breakaway Live output to Breakaway Pipeline, and set Flash to record from Breakaway Pipeline instead of the sound card!

    You can try this with the trial version, to make sure it will work properly, before you actually purchase.

    There are several consumer grade cards, but i don’t know of a pro one except juli@. They’re generally called "low profile", try googling that.

    Hi Mark,

    Glenn here from Glenn’s Super Hits. I’m using an M-Audio Revolution 5.1 card on my system with Breakaway Live, and it works great. Very low latency, and excellent overall performance. M-Audio has discontinued manufacturing this sound card, but there are a few places on the net that still sells it. I’ve found one so far at a good price:

    It’s standard full PCI height, not low profile. It’s also a consumer card, not a pro audio card. Unbalanced analog at -10 level in 1/8" connectors aren’t ideal for a broadcast environment 🙂.
