Here is something to read for start.

Dave use Delta 66 and jackd every day.

Next thing is that you need real time kernel, if you start to use jackd. 
Here for Gentoo.

I do use Delta 66 (http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Ubuntu_Studio) but I do not 
use digital ins/outs, just analog ones (break out box). I do have Echo 
AudioFire 4 firewire soundcard, too.

I do everything with jackd (both Delta 66 and AudioFire 4).

I do not have any digital recorder to put in Delta 66 and I do not use 
Gentoo, so sorry for that, I can't help more here.
