Little known fun fact - if the on/off switch is in the on position, even
though you don't have the power cable in or batteries in it, nothing
will happen when you attach it to the USB port. Brilliant design! If
it's switched off it should come up saying ">AUDIO INTERFACE". Press
the right arrow to switch it to ">CARD READER" then press ENTER followed
by ENTER, and it should show up on your system. There will be PROJnnn
directories where the AUDIO data will be stored.

I've
got two r16s (USB linked). I only use my computer for mix down
and mastering. The R16s mount fine under Linux. I haven't had a need
to try it as a control surface and, since I can record 16 tracks live, I
haven't needed to try it as an interface. It's so much more convenient
to go record wherever you need to than it is to drag people back to my
home "studio". I record all of my band's gigs live using a direct out
per channel from the board into the R16s. The gain is a bit touchy but
I can live with it. Definitely worth the money.
You say you have mounted the R16 under linux. How? I tried with my
laptop, which doesn't have a host port (the square one). I put the
supplied cable onto the R16 (square) to the computer (flat), but
didn't get anything happening.
