Yes. That's the most obvious use -- multi-channel soundcard used to record a band. A replacement for the four-track cassette, or an alternative to Garage Band. Even with a consumer soundcard with a single stereo mic input and a single stereo line input, there are various configurations in which you might want to record more than one track at once, particularly since you can treat a stereo input as two mono ones if you want. Two mono mics and two mono line inputs (beatbox and guitar preamp?), say. Most of them are only interesting if you have more than one performer, of course. > Most importantly, I suppose the underlying question here is "Can I > even test this any any useful way?" I'm thinking probably not. Well, it could be useful if you have a multi-MIDI-track composition that uses external or JACKified MIDI synths and you want to make a more concrete mixdown of it. Play each track to its synth, record the results back in on separate inputs and end up with one audio track per original MIDI source.
