Ardour and JACK are powerful (but still rapidly evolving) answers to a
different question than the one asked here. I think that ecasound + ALSA + 1
or more Delta 1010LT cards would be a plausible basis for addressing this
application, but I don't actually have any of those cards and I'm still
waiting for the day when someone explains ALSA configuration files in a way
that I can understand....
The funny thing about this list is, no matter what question you ask, the
question that gets answered is usually "how do I build a Linux-based musical
recording studio?"

The answer is Ardour. First beta is coming out
shortly but I've been
using it from CVS for about 5-6 months. Check out
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ardour also

http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/. You can use
qjackconnect to route anything JACK to anything else JACK. Delta 1010,
ST Audio DSP 2000 C-Port, Terratec EWS88MT, or, on the high end, the
Hammerfall cards (digital).
