Basicly a linux based HD recorder.
Have a look at ardour (GTK or curses) and/or ecasound (command line)
So my big question is, is linux up to the task of
recording 16 or
more tracks at once in sync?
Yes, as long as you have hardware that is capable of produdcing 16 tracks
in sample sync, eg. a 2x ADAT card or (maybe) multiple cards+wordclock.
I have a hammerfall and that is easily capable of producing 16 tracks in
sync.
