Addressing the technical limitation: Yes, vic is hardcoded to scan for ten devices. I think vic should be able to discover all the devices, so I'm copying the UCL media tools developers, who will likely be the ones to address this.
I agree with Derek that you would likely overwhelm typical AG participants. But I also think that you should have access to all those capture devices, for a couple reasons: (1) because you should be able to access /any/ capture device on your system; (2) because we shouldn't have hard-coded limits; (3) because you should be able to do whatever interesting things you like. If you want to modify vic yourself and rebuild it, the hard-coding is in vic/video/grabber-win32DS.h, in the global variable NUM_DEVS.
