When the number of loopback and hardware cards exceeds 32, we can no longer use them. Also some new devices are already using 384khz but the limitation is for alsa Loopback. I thinks we must increse CONFIG_SND_MAX_CARDS to 256 and change 192000 sample rate value fixed in aloop.c to 384000 or 768000 to provide an additional margin in alsa Loopback.
