Ardour and JACK are powerful (but still rapidly evolving) answers to a different question than the one asked here. I think that ecasound + ALSA + 1 or more Delta 1010LT cards would be a plausible basis for addressing this application, but I don't actually have any of those cards and I'm still waiting for the day when someone explains ALSA configuration files in a way that I can understand.... The funny thing about this list is, no matter what question you ask, the question that gets answered is usually "how do I build a Linux-based musical recording studio?"
