I can confirm the fast delivery! It arrived in Warrington on Saturday 
morning!
Sadly, the FedEx don't deliver Saturdays, Sundays, Christmas Day or 
Boxing day
so it only got here this morning. Plugged it in and aplay -L should up 
multiple
devices. I then used qjackctl to handle 8 output audio output devices 
and with
a bit of fiddling I got it to work. I don't currently have 4 stereo amps or
anything set up to drive 8 channels, but connecting Audacious to each of 
the
outputs on Jack seems to confirm all is working well. I am confident 
that this
will answer all the requirements for the organ for the forseeable future!

Many thanks once again!

Bill
