I suspect it probably would run it if you don't use too high a sampling
rate. Our old Unix based SGI O2's use to run 8 channels quite happily, even
if the audio was sent over Ethernet using the server/client part of the
TCL/Tk Snack audio toolkit. The processors in the Beagle boards are a bit
quicker if the pi is just marginal.
