So I just tried doing the second ALSA device on that old laptop, and it worked! I tried it both with and without jackd and it worked both ways. The funny part is that as a test I configured the main log to play through jack to the first ALSA device, Aux 1 to play out of second ALSA device direct, then Aux 2 to play out of the first ALSA device direct (bypassing Jack) and all three played at the same time! I guess Jack does not lock out it's ALSA device.
One thing I DID have to do to get it to work: Perhaps because I did all this with the root login, but rdalsaconfig built the file /etc/asound.conf, which rivendell didn't see, but then when I sim-linked it (ln -s /etc/asound.conf .asound.conf) to .asound.conf in my home directory and restarted the rivendell daemons, it only then worked. BTW, this "old laptop" is really old! it's an old 1.2 Ghz P3, and it seems to run Rivendell just fine. All three logs played, and sequed perfectly at the same time. Rivendell was otherwise a bit sluggish, but very usable. Note I don't have a very big library on this machine (unlike unlike our real radio station with thousands of entries). I DID get my Raspberry Pi 2, so maybe it is worth compiling Rivendell for it and see how it does, as I'm sure a quad core, overclock 1 Ghz Arm should be able to outperform this old laptop, even if Xorg isn't accelerated on it.
