Cowboy,
Is it correct to say you're advising strictly on the traditional analog
physical output realm?
I have to say, I'm intrigued by Jim's virtual approach using Jack!
We have an 8x2 switch as well, and are gradually using it more as we
mature (we're a fledgling community radio station only now going into
our 3rd year).
Along with some recent studio improvements, we're looking at additional usage
of the 8x2 switch, which initally included a graphical-something to
click on to perform an 8x2 switch operation. The initial thought was an icon
approach in Winblows, with the associated RS-232 signal wiriing back (or serial
over CATx) to the switch, but another idea has emerged: an
internal PHP/web-based interface. This would be platform-independent
(implemented in Linux) with the RS-232 wiring simplified down to the web
server-to-switch. Provides more flexible access within the station to
the 8x2 switch. Add access controls as desired. So far, I'm liking the idea :)
Cheers,
Rick QuendunKMUZ Engineering

Just a note for anyone getting any ideas....
You can NEVER physically bridge outputs in the real world.
If you do, one becomes a low-Z load for the other, and depending
on the instantaneous audio voltage the R can actually go negative,
causing an infinite ( well, until the chip blows ) current to flow.
The horrific distortion is minor by comparison.

It's not reality or how you perceive things that's important -- it's
what you're taking for it...
