Hi Tom,

i also have the fast track pro interface. It has been a while ago (ca. 1
year) when i tried to get it running with ardour etc. 
I was facing the same problems. It didn't work flawless. After Trial and
error i think one mode worked okay,  it was 48 kHz sampling rate, i
guess. I can't remember, if I managed both recording and playback at the
same time without drop-outs. But I know the result wasn't quite
satisfying.
   
I will definitely stay tuned to this issue and keep on trying as time
permits.

Please let me and other ubuntu-studio-users know, what you bring to
light.


Bye

Christian
