FYI, Hopefully Rui won't mind my forwarding part of his reply in
response to my forwarding of my message responding to Fernando:

yep. that's correct, you can have 1-99 channels on any qtractor bus.
however, Fernando has partly good reason, qtractor is more oriented to
stereo setups.

having more that 1-2 channels in any one bus or track will certainly
work and it may give you some interesting results when dealing with
disparate audio files in terms of number of channels.

eg. rendering a stereo audio file on a 12-channel track/bus will make it
through as 6 stereo pairs at the output, original left channel on the
odd numbered output channels and the original right on the even ones.
............ ............ ............ ............

This actually suggests a good trick for my base-setup. I could setup a
4channel bus and when I want to have parallel monitoring on headphones
and mains (which is how i have my delta-66 4 outputs setup) I could
use this second bus for such purposes: it would automatically
duplicate stereo tracks it is playing back across all channels. Or
send the outputs to a "quadraphonic" system utilizing all four
outputs. You could probably setup 6-channels and have it duplicate the
mains to the spdif output as well...

As to the rest of Rui's reply, that's a separate thread/message.

I wonder if there's a way to run Qtractor without Jackd, using only
ALSA audio devices? This would be for performance reasons, on an
underpowered "music computer" running a realtime kernel and fitted
with a soundcard containing a digital mixer (none of which exists yet,
but will, when i upgrade a server currently using the mobo/cpu)
