Matthew - can I ask you a quick question please?  Are you runnung Ardour
under Mac or Linux?  The reason I ask is that I've been offered an RME 9652
for sale (slightly different model) but I've just realised from the RME
website that it only supplies drivers for Windows & Mac.  I just wondered
how you got your card to run with Linux (assuming that Linux is your OS).

Thanks,

John
