IIUC the board provides a total of 32 output channels and 26 for input. does this mean the device is already fully recognized and functional? can alsa be configured to provide all channels as one "sound card" so they become available in, say, ardour? thank you & best regards :: m.eik -- : . . : : .·· : ::. .. ..:: dipl. psych. : : m.eik michalke ::.. .. .. .:: : · : .· . : : . .: : :.. .. . .. . : OpenPGP: F8315CCB7BDABA8E .· . ::.: · : : : ..:·· .: ··. ..:... : :.. https://reaktanz.de ... https://angstalt.de ... https://C3S.cc ..:
