Yes, I know it's had issues in the past, but the current version from debian
(squeeze) seems very stable.

It will auto-connect on start-up, but never objects when I gently prise it's

jack kit such as guitar effects plugins :D

Don't know it it handles multichannel files (I don't have any myself).
