> Ardour seems more robust than Audacity

That's not our experience. Audacity is one of the most mature audio 
applications on Linux, while Ardour is still under heavy development 
and goes from stable to unstable (and back) every week.

We've been using Audacity in the studio for several years, with good 
results, but Ardour is not yet dependable enough that we can use it 
as our main live recording tool. We look forward to Ardour version 
1.0 when we probably will use it more, due to its realtime effects 
and better overdub synchronisation. (Audacity has an overdub latency 
problem, due to its OSS rather than ALSA or JACK interface).
 
Cheers
