Hi
I can't answer your question.. but this email has answered one of mine,
and I have successfully edited my asound.conf file to be able to do what
you are doing.. recording in through discrete channels and outputting
though discrete channels..
Maybe someone on the ardour list can answer us both by confirming that
this will allow multichannel recording on ardour (a possible solve to
the question I think you are asking)
cheers
Allan
P.S I'm still working on a way of then combining my Delta66 with my
intel8x0 (built-in to MOBO) so that I can use the stereo out of the
intel8x0 for monitoring while using the outputs of the Delta66 for
channel recording. (i.e. sending output into the mixing desk to use
outboard processing gear or for external mixdown of tracks)
cheers
