Greetings Rob,

Of course it always depends on your needs, but on each station we use a
Behringer X32 rack, which is in itself a console
however it gives you 32 in and 32 outs via usb which can easily be
configured as 16 stereo in and outs or a combination of stereo and mono.
It works a charm and can be used with alsa or jack all for less than 1100
bucks.
Plus you can control all channel mutes, level, via macros from rivendell.

May not be a solution for everyone but 32 io's for less than 1100 is a good
deal.
