have you actually tried it? i would expect things to just work... if
not, you might want to post this issue to the ffado-users list. haven't
read the ADAT lightpipe spec, but i thought the only thing that would
require configuration was channel bundling for 96khz.

the really annoying thing with adat machines is that there is no way to
use both the in and out converters in a full duplex mode while bypassing
the tape (at least with an adat XT i tried, confirmed by alesis support,
i couldn't believe it...)

best regards,
