Hello

I have two Presonus FireStudio Live firewire interfaces working in
daisy-chain mode for a total of 16 channel pre-amped inputs and they
are working great :-)
I am however sometimes running short on channels and thought it might
be worth looking into adding a cheaper interface, such as the
Behringer ADA8200 Ultragain, and hook that up to one the the Presonus
interfaces through ADAT to ensure full sample synchronization.
I have not been able find anything information on how/if this kind of
setup would work on linux and the ffado website seem particularly
sparse with information these days.
Does anybody have a similar setup and can share some insights into
what works and what doesn't - then it would be much appreciated :-)
In particular I would be interested to know how/if the extra channel
from the ADAT interface would show up in jack?

Aren't they showing up in Jack already?  With the interfaces I use, the
channel assignments are fixed even without ADAT synchronisation.  The
numbers may differ when switching between 48kHz and 96kHz though since
then channels are getting bundled.  The ADA8200 probably would not do
that.

Thank you for your feeback both of you.
After fiddling even more around in the user manual I found out that the Presonus FireStudio Project interface doesn't even have ADAT, so my problem sort-of went away on its own (replaced by a different one though; how to get extra channels).
