Thanks! It appears to be working.
I also find another solution, using plughw:
pcm.multiES8 {
type multi
slaves.a.pcm hw:USB
slaves.a.channels 2
slaves.b.pcm plughw:ES8
slaves.b.channels 16 #Use the highest value (in this case, the
output value which is 16). 4 inputs (12 to 15) will not be used at all.
... bindings ...
}
This would basically create (as far as I understand) additional 4 inputs
channels (since the ES-8 inputs count is 12) which will not be used.
Which of the two solutions will perform better, in your opinion?
Also, I noticed the existence of a "master" parameter for the multi type.
What is its utility? Is it to define which of the sound cards used will
hold the master clock? Does this mean that the other cards will perform
drift correction according to the master one?
Thanks
Francesco
