Well, it turns out that, although that makes perfect sense, the right way 
to run the Taylors seems indeed to be to plug them into the pre-amped XLRs. 
The reason I was seeing some distortion was because of a low battery -- one 
of the many annoyances with the new Taylor system is that it has no 
low-battery indicator (in fact, _everything_ about the Taylor Expression 
system is inferior to their old Fishman electronics, except the sound).

No idea... most probably the ardour-users mailing list would be a better
place to ask this question (unless there are ubuntu users lurking
around).

All the Planet CCRMA packages are only built (so far) on top of the 32
bit versions of fc... so all bets are off if you try to run them on top
of the 64 bit versions. I have not tried myself...

I believe QjackCtl has made some tiny steps forward since 0.2.15a (10 
moths ago). The latest and greatest has come to 0.2.19a as of late 
November ;)

Cheers and have a nice vacation. I'm sure you deserve it.
