I am a broadcast engineer by profession, but a hacker by hobby.  I maintain 
the PostgreSQL RPMset, the nspostgres AOLserver database driver, and do a 
little bit of coding.  I wouldn't consider myself fluent in C++, however.  
But I enjoy learning new things....

I _have_ had some issues with the TRS 1/4 inch jacks on the Layla 20, though.  
Odd things like the top jack of a two-jack stack becoming inoperative after 
plugging in the bottom plug (in balanced mode).  If using unbalanced 
connections, I don't have this problem.  I've been considering some 'surgery' 
on the box, and replacing the 1/4's with a DB25 or something, that I could 
then breakout to XLR's.  Of course, I've also been considering an upgrade to 
something like a Motu 1394 solution.  But I'm not sure yet.

We do real-time live multitrack recording here with Layla.  It works quite 
well; using Ardour with the box would be cool.
