[LAU] re Zoom R16

Hi all! I found this old discussion about the Zoom R16 in the archive of LAU. http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2012/3/14/188926 Strangely, in that archive there is a missing reply from Mr. Brett McCoy. (You can find the missing one a the bottom of this archive: http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/Zoom-R16-td7748.html ) Mr. McCoy claims to have enabled the Zoom R8 (yes, there is quite a difference between r16 and r8) as a multi-input soundcard for ardour and also as a control surface in 12.04 64bits. There is no information as to which driver is being in use in his post. And searching the web only leads me to various WIP to get the R16 running on linux. My question is, has anyone got any news about this device and a possible drivers? Specifically to Mr. Brett McCoy: what driver did you use to make jack aware of your r8?
