Generally, for Rivendell, you want to configure the card to have as many output
streams as possible. MP3 modes don't figure; Rivendell *never* uses those. If
you’re playing from an MP2 library, the card will have to work a bit harder,
but in a decade and a half I’ve yet to ever see it “run out of gas”.
You can actually keep track of the DSP resource utilization in near-realtime by
opening up RDHpiInfo and selecting the card of interest in the drop-down. Hit
the ‘Details’ button if you want to see exactly how much “gas” each DSP
subsystem is utilizing.
Cheers!
