Any ideas? > Pointers to relevant documentation? it should just work. make sure you have the snd-seq module loaded, then fire up qjackctl and you should see the port(s) for the Multiface. off the top of my head i don't recall if it has 1 or two, the digiface has two and they are both there. you can also use aconnect -l to see the available ports from the standpoint of the ALSA sequencer. --p
