Subject: FreeBSD for digital recording w/PCI multitrack in/out cards?

With Jordan's comment about FreeBSD in the recording studio, it could be
done with PCI-based multitrack audio I/O cards (e.g. Event Electronics
Layla - FAQ at http://www.event1.com/layla-faq.html), and some changes to
the sound driver (e.g. creating /dev/[audio|dsp][0-7]).

Could FreeBSD handle the guaranteed 8-channel in/out?


What multitrack recording software exists for FreeBSD?
