Certainly. All 8 analog inputs at once without any issues. - Ardour3 in
this case, but Ardour does not care: Since jackd (actually ALSA) works
reliably, all is good. You get a constant stream of 18 ins and 18 outs.

I have not yet had any need for recording mixed analog+digital sessions
but I've done some S/Pdif capturing and tested ADAT.
