if you are targetting the studio market (or anything other than basic

24bits at 48k is a sensible minimum. haven't looked at your intended
cpu, but if it can do floats in hardware, 32bit float would be an even
better choice.
does that mean it *can* use CELT (which is cool), or that it always uses
CELT (which would be a severe limitation imho)?
The aim is to
provide upto 8 audio i/o ports.
I don't think we should set an upper limit, instead it would be
interesting to see how many channels the system could support.
I would say we try to make (input and output)
one desent channel, e.g. 16bits, 44.1/48kHz one very good channel (if we manage), 24bits 192kHz,
to try the limits
again, consider floats. the very nice advantage is that they can't
overload, i.e. you only have to watch the very last meter in your signal
chain, not every single stage.
The device
will run Linux OS.
Audio data transfer will be via netjack using CELT compression.
Ack. It seems that my "archetectural" choises
are
. a single board computer
. a stackable system like pc104, pico-itxe or arduino
i've heard arduino is quite popular, so if you that route, it might open
up a wider user/contributor base.
best,
