Now after thinking this, I think ecasound is the right tool for this.
Create a device to .asoundrc: (with correct card number of course)
pcm.2496_4ch
{
type plug
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.1.1 1
ttable.2.8 1
ttable.3.9 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
}
Then use ecasound with this device, and take input from two sources and
send them to the appropriate channels, first input to channels 1&2, second
to channels 3&4.
I don't know the right way to do this, but I know that it can be done.
Since ecasound can split 4 channel wav to separate channels, I don't see
why it wouldn't join two stereo samples to one 4 channel sample.
Maybe you'll have to ask this from ecasound-list
