Closing the loop on this -- I finally* checked out 12.04, and indeed, now I can get 2-in, 4-out with my FastTrack. Unfortunately, I get occasional xruns with this configuration (even with lowlatency + rtirq), but (at least with light use) I don't hear audible dropouts. 2-in, 2-out works without xruns.

So I'll test it some more, beat it up with some CPU-intensive SuperCollider code, but I at least wanted to confirm that this analysis -- the kernel bug in 10.04 -- seems to have been spot on.

Thanks a million! I never would have found that by myself --

* "Finally" = While the semester was still in session (the academic calendar is a bit different in China, with the spring semester ending early in July), I didn't dare do anything invasive to my system :)  Now I'm on summer break, perfect time.
