It does work with all analog and all SPDIF and ADAT IOs, but IIRC with jackd only stereo pairs were available, not all IOs at the same time. IIRC there was no way to adjust latency, the latency always was very high, perhaps 171 ms or similar. TotalMIx (hdspmixer) wasn't available. OTOH on Linux using hdspmixer for the RME HDSPe AIO only ADAT 1+2 are available by jackd, but at least the other IOs, e.g. the analog IOs are available at the same time when using jackd.

"So this really really doesn’t make me want to ever work with Kay Sievers, because this all just reinforces the fact that he just doesn’t care if his changes cause other projects pain. In the kernel, we have that “no regressions” rule for a damn good reason. For example, it is not a valid excuse to say “well, user space shouldn’t have done that to begin with, so now we can break it”. But Kay seems to think that breaking other peoples workflow and uses is fine. And is totally unapologetic about it, and closes bug reports when it happens, and dismisses the obvious and reasonable fix." - Torvalds And this attitude became a fashion, even for maintainers and coders of other distros, when e.g. backwards compatibility gets broken within major releases and then coders and maintainers argued that other software is broken. But indeed Poettering released pulseaudio too soon and blamed ALSA drivers that worked without pulseaudio, for not working with pulseaudio.
