No, the S32_LE format is native because low eight bits are padded with zero. 24-bit formats are used only with USB and PCMCIA devices. > Regardless, capturing 8 channels of audio at 96Khz > (which is a native sampling freq. for the delta1010) consumes > 50% of the CPU on my 3.06 Ghz machine. You may simply check that the conversion is not used. Use 'hw:0' device name. Then no conversions are active. Anyway, the problem might be also in the route plugin. The ICE1712 chip captures always 12 channels simultaneously. So try to capture 12 channels. And yes, hardware is assymetric: 10 playback channels and 12 capture channels.
