Thank you very much Mr. McCoy!!!! :)

lsusb lists my device. But unfortunately, aplay -l dose not detect it.

I imagine it has something to with the fact that the r16 has 8 inputs
and there for needs a non-standard driver. But this is just my n00by
speculation.

Let's hope my very kind and respectful jedi-mail will have effect on
zoom corporation :D

Thanks again for your precious help!
