>3) The ability to tell Jack how many ports to make
available.
Specifically, I am interested in the third item. I
have successfully
captured and sent 2 channel audio from both dev 0 and 1, but I (as I am
VERY new to ALSA and the .asoundrc voodoo) have not been able to use all 8
channels of ADAT optical io. The goal of my setup is to capture 8 streams
into Ardour via jackd from the ADAT in but I have yet to figure out how to
access all of the interleaved data. Please excuse me if my difficulty is
naive but as I said I am new to the finer workings of alsa and am eager to
get some direction beyond the fragments found in news group archives.
That option is available in the alsa driver options within Jack. Perhaps you might try
qjackctl, it might make everything a bit easier, especially for somebody new to Alsa, jack
etc.

Also check out the RME Digi96/8 section in the alsa wiki, I've been keeping it up to
date and it might help you out a bit.
