I do have the same problem: There was Ardourxchange still working well on early Mixbus5 versions , but now it does not integrate anymore into Mixbus6. It s too bad, because that was the safest and easiest way to import aaf into Mixbus / ardour.
AATranslator is a fantastic piece of software. But also costs as much (or sometimes more) as Mixbus32c
Especially when you are on linux and you work on collaborative projects, for sound design, sound post for films, etc. it is crucial to be able to import aaf in an easy way. And I think the lack of an easy aaf or omf import lets people forget that Mixbus is an amazing tool for Postproduction!!
I once even mixed a 3 screen video installation with mixbus: with xjadeo you just sync up 3 different videos at once and you can mix your way through the end. but if you cannot import anything (other than stems) from avid / premiere / final cut you have no chance....
