Hi Sean- I bought a Multimix 8 for a friend of mine and it works fine. The pre's are a little crisp, but it's not terrible. I can do a test tomorrow and see how it is with ubuntu studio and a Dell D510, but I have a strong feeling there will be latency issues as there normally are with USB audio and Alsa.
I might suggest that you craigslist or ebay all your usb/pci/out stuff and get an RME pci with the resulting cash. Keep the 1622.
