I can report that it works both with freebob and ffado. Of course freebob 
works better with it but that is because of the state of ffado.

But it works rather well. Only the spdif-in is not working with freebob 
because freebob is missing the options to sync on external clocks. But when 
both freebob and ffado are installed, you can use freebob in jack to have the 
low-latency and use the ffado-tools before to set the syncing to external 
input (=spdif) as far as I remember.

But 8 in and 8+2 out with 3x64 (about 5-10ms latency) works reliable as 
FOH-effects box...

Have fun,

Arnold
