Intermediate result:
Analog out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and
ADAT out 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 are available, there is audio
output.
Outputs 9, 10 are not tested.
I did listen to one after the other, not to all at the same time, so
they might or might not be in sync.
ALSA mixer is useless, the channels are stereo pairs, so you cannot
adjust a single channel. I don't care, I keep them at max output
and use the DAW's mixer, since you anyway can't rout monitoring. The
analog outputs 7 and 8 are assigned to the phones output, if you want
to use head phones, then you need to use jack to route all channels to
7 and 8. IOW seemingly you need to decide, if you want 8 analog outputs
or 6 outputs and headphones. "Main" seems to be unused. ALSA mixer
allows to set up the clock, available are "ADAT", "SPDIF" or
"internal".
I chose "internal" and sync the ADA8000 by wc.
I made a Qtractor loop with 16 instances of fluidsynth DSSI and 2
instances of hexter DSSI, IOW just MIDI, no audio tracks. I used one
output of each DSSI instrument, by jack I assigned 9 DSSI outputs to
playback_7 and 9 DSSI outputs to playback_8.
Usually I use rt patched kernels, for the test I'm using a default
kernel from the official Arch repositories.
The CPU is an AMD dual-core 2.1 GHz, on an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI mobo,
without the HDMI thingy mounted.
Very seldom I get an inaudible xrun (quasi never) with the below jackd
settings.
