I have a Delta 44 sound card here that uses the ice1712 chipset.
Am I right in thinking that although the card has 4 mono inputs, it can
only capture one stream at a time? arecord seems to think so...

Only one app can grab the device, if you run
It can record from all 4. Although many applications only care about
left / channel 1 (defaults). I tend to run pulseaudio over jackd
setup. As that was the only way to have your mic be an input other
than 1 for apps like skype. Since channel 1 and 2 are typically
stereo output.
