I'd also be interested in that. However at present I've deal with such
matters by having mutliple (non computer) recorders and sources. I still
tend to have the old-fashioned view that it is simpler and better to have
the recorders and sources divorced from a computer whos hardware and
software is subject to continual 'updates and changes' that mean you'd have
to keep re-calibrating and checking if the audio i/o was still working
correctly.

You don't have to put in the updates and changes. For a critical
machine, I'd really recommend that once a working configuration is
found, you stick to it. No updates, no patches, no "security fixes". And
I'd also suggest no general net access to/from it either. Then I see no
particular problem in using a computer as opposed to a reel-to-reel
recorder, for example.
