I understand my answer doesn't fully apply to your request but, if of
any interest to you, I'm currently happily using a Mackie 820i mixer,
connected via firewire with jack and ffado.
It has only 3 mic inputs, alas.
It features 8 inputs and 2 outputs.
The use of firewire and tape outputs might result not immediate, or at
least it didn't to me, but can be arranged to supersede some input
channels or mix in the "control room" via some routing buttons but
loosing volume control.
If you can afford it I might suggest a wider 1220i.
Best regards

Thanks! Firewire may be the right way after all, it seems the PCI cards
are still available (and inexpensive)
Also in the meantime we have learned a few things from other sources:
* avoid Tascam - they are not Linux-friendly
* the Presonus 1818VSL has plenty of channels and is reported to work
under Linux
* Behringer is about to release this thing, will cost $200 USD:
