There is no code right now to handle multiple soundcards. It is also not as
easy as you might think, as multiple soundcards will never run at exactly the
same sampling rate (and if its only they are drifting 1 sample per second),
so you will need to have code that corrects these differences all the time.
Of course that doesn't mean its impossible to write something like this, and
I would appreciate seeing such code ;). But it hasn't been done yet.
