Hi Atte!

Not sure what you mean with "in sync with my project" exactly, but 
how about recording to single tracks in Ardour and mixdown from there? 
If someone else adds a track based on your mixdown, he could sent  
the addition back, not a new mixdown. More flexibility, less degradation 
if you use lossy encoding.

But consider using wavpack for not having to change bit depth.
