Would I be able to "transparently" use these "S/MUX"d channels in a linux DAW, by simply recording/playing-back a higher channel count per track (e.g. 4 for a stereo track, 2 for a mono)?
yes, if it's just about acquisition and you don't intend to do any processing with it. btw, each half of a smuxed stream should be a reasonable 48k/24bit stream btw, which you could listen to, not noise.
Next question: to avoid the hack suggested above, is there some kind of ALSA plugin that would reconstitute/create synchronized pairs of S/MUX data on the same soundcard into single 24/96 streams, both for input and output? How is S/Mux handled in Linux& ALSA?
i'm not aware of any software implementation of smuxing, but i'd be interested to hear more about it. the only times i've used smuxing was with a focusrite pro26 and a rme hdsp, both of which seem to do it either in hardware or at the driver level, so that the user doesn't get to see how it's done.
