[ardour-users] controlling ardour via midi

[dragon fly]

hi to the list,
i think that this question is pretty easy to answer (for some of you)
is ardour able to be contolled via hardware-mixer with an midi-output?
in the manuall, there is sth about the mmc to read
but, does it means only the transport-contol (play, fwd, pause...) or it is 
also possible to control the faders, pan etc?
i am thankfull for any suggestion,
cheers,
doc
p.s. using ardour 0.99+ibm_thinkpad+demudi1.2.1+rme_multiface
