I have successfully captured and sent 2 channel audio from both dev 0 and 1, but I (as I am VERY new to ALSA and the .asoundrc voodoo) have not been able to use all 8 channels of ADAT optical io. The goal of my setup is to capture 8 streams into Ardour via jackd from the ADAT in but I have yet to figure out how to access all of the interleaved data. Please excuse me if my difficulty is naive but as I said I am new to the finer workings of alsa and am eager to get some direction beyond the fragments found in news group archives. Sincerely, James
