Yes, i faced the same problem too, maybe it's useful to use PCM device "share" and card such as Midiman Delta 410 (10 monochannels for output), but i don't know how tio share channels for SIMULTANEOUS USE (not for simply splitting them into a couple of stereo-channels)... AFAIK ALSA haven't built-in nor hardware, neither software mixers (a good software mixer - JACK).
<QUOTE> Greetings all, I was hoping someone could shed a little light on a question I have. I currently run a Live audio encoding/streaming system (Currently 12 streams) using a mp3 encoder called Darkice. Each system is running Redhat 7.2/ALSA/OSS Emulation. I have 3 sound cards (SB Live & two es1371 cards) in each system with darkice encoding live off each card (/dev/dsp, /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2). This setup works great with one exception. It's a serious pain in my rear to add a new server for each 3 streams I want to add, considering even at very high sampling rates, I'm not using more than 20% of the processor. Please note I'm limited to 3 PCI cards in the 2U rack mount servers I'm using. So I've been wondering if I can multiple-input sound cards that work as what I've described above and increase the number of inputs on each system (i.e. /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2, /dev/dspX ... )? Any info would be GREATLY appreciated!
