However, the soundcard presents the 8 analog channels as device 0 and 8 digital channels as device 1. JACK will only open one device at a time. So in order to record and play back 16 channels with Ardour, I apparently need to create a virtual ALSA device combining the two LAYLA subdevices.

The above line produces the following:

ALSA lib conf.c:1592:(snd_config_load1)_toplevel_:606:27:Unexpected char
ALSA lib conf.c:2837:(snd_config_hook_load)/root/.asoundrc may be old or corrupted consider to remove or fix it

Character 27 is either the '1' or the newline.

The MMAP_COMPLEX note might be relevant to a dead end i reached earlier. Does anyone know whether planetccrma builds jack with this option? jackd --help doesn't mention. i have version jackd 0.100.6.

Thanks for the assistance.
