Subject:MOTU 2408 not compatible with Acid?

anyone having recording problems with MOTU 2408 in Acid and
Vegas? my tracks are recorded with a delay proportional to
the Buffer Size value in the PCI324 console... this value
should influence monitoring latency, not the timing of
recordings to disk... this means that if I record new
tracks at higher Buffer Size values (1024, 4096, 8192...
iusefeul for minimum CPU strain...) I can clearly hear an
echo effect in the new audio parts... at minimum settings
(high CPU strain...) the delay is almost 0, but still there
if you zoom and analize the waveform... BTW, it's not my
own bad playing... just recorded the click track in a loop
to be rperfectly sure...
I suspect a fault in MOTU 2408 Wave driver (ASIO one works
perfectly in Cubase... sample accurate)... if this is
really true (anyone the same problem?) the MOTU2408 is not
compatible with "wave driver" applications like Vegas,
Acid, COol Edit PRO (all tested and all not working right,
timing wise...).
BTW, this is the mail I sent to tech support (at the moment
they have still no idea...)
anyone can help me? SF staff?
I'm going mad
