First off, it works and shows up under alsa. You get the inputs and outputs which is really nice. Now for the downside: it has its own proprietary software that doesn't exist on Linux for digital processing and mixing. Basically, the interface has its own mixing utility that also allows one to apply limited dsp effects and mix/route audio. If you wanted to stay solely on Linux, this cannot be used. Now, if you buy the interface and it has a clean slate for its digital mixing/processing state, it may work just fine for your needs. But, if you buy it used, you may have to change it to that clean/stock slate first. Let me know if you have any questions about the Tascam US-16x08, as it literally is sitting next to me at work and I can just plug it in and try out things for you when I have free time.
