i would also mention that you may have potential problems doing this with word-clock synced interfaces. its likely that they will generate interrupts sufficiently close in time that you could be severely stressing the full compliance of the PCI interrupt detect/CPU notify system. basically, each card is going to reach the interrupt point at almost exactly the same time, and this could cause problems even though it theoretically should not (the APIC should buffer the 2nd interrupt while the first is processed). i would be very suprised if even RME have tried this experiment: I don't think ASIO has any way to link two physical devices together in the way that ALSA permits. i may be wrong about that. --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
