Thanks a lot Friedrich (and to the author Nicholas) for pointing me to
rotter!
I did a few test and indeed it's looking exactly what I need so far. I
might just need to tweak it a bit so I can specify which channels exactly
to get the inputs, and make sure that it can run multiple recording
processes concurrently.
Meanwhile, more suggestions and hints are still most welcome. Thank you!
