Hi, I can't help you much, however, unless JACK has recently been worked on I think there's a 32 track limitation. It's known to be technically trivial. Otherwise I don't believe alsa would be a problem, assuming you've got wordclock i/o on the hammerfall cards. Midi Time Code syncronization in Ardour could also be problematic, it doesn't work with my Tascam DM-24. Even though transport location is accurate, the automation system can't interpret Ardour mtc. Paul has announced his intention to implement SMPTE but I'm not sure if that's been done yet. I wonder what the status of 96kHz adat is with the hammerfall drivers. Anyway, that's not much help.
