Well, the 22MTK delivers 22 (23-24 are the stereo sum of the mix) inputs 
at a reliable and tolerable latency
  => -r48000 -p256 -n2 -Xseq -D -Chw:MTK -Phw:MTK

I use my m-audio gear now mainly as external instrument outputs for my 
software instruments (on a different computer) that are fed into the 
22MTK. The rest of the inputs are my guitars and basses. All are routed 
directly into ardour and recorded.

To be honest, the thing has been extremely reliable and I have 
absolutely no complaints--except that the USB inputs are post gain, 
pre-eq/fader ... but I've gotten used to it.
