I built a box for a friend a few years back using the PCI version of the AES. Works fine, but the part that sucks is there is no GUI tool to set the matrix send levels or show the dsp meters. There is only a small CLI demo tool for setting and retrieving matrix send levels. Kind of a pain in the ass to deal with.

On the upside, ALSA exposes all 64 matrix inputs that are available for the matrix. I believe (not for sure) that on windows systems, only the first 16 are exposed. So instead of the advertized 16x16 matrix, you have a 64x16 matrix.
