A bit off topic but..
The MOTU AVB series interfaces are ultra flexible and contains an embedded 48ch mixer with eq, compressor, gate, reverb and busses fully customizable and you can control everything from any web browser on the same network. Expandable via adat and/or more devices on the same AVB network. Fully class compliant and works pretty well with Linux. You can even let the musicians control their own monitor mixes via the aux-mix view.
The MOTU device can be used as "Soundcard" "Standalone mixer" "Studio extension" Stage box with or without monitor mixin" but that is only presets that you can change to suit your needs and things can saved as new presets
I also have a Fireface 800 and the MOTU device seems to be on par sound wise.
I don't work for MOTU but I like my MOTU cards a lot.

No I mostly would like to be able to setup a headphone mix for
monitoring while tracking, and have some control over the relative
volume of already recorded tracks versus the inputs.
