Arne, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking, but to clarify: are you asking if you can setup a pool of physical drives (not pools of volumes/tapes)?
If this is the case I believe multiple drive support is (at least partially) working, but as for how to make the director see a given number of drives as a single storage device such that data can be striped -- either sequentially or in parallel -- across the volumes mounted on those drives, I don't think this has been fully implemented yet. I'm sure sometime today Kern or another, more experienced list member could confirm or correct me on this, but I think the answer is "I don't think so." Either way, I think this capability would definitely be a GoodThing(TM) and if it isn't going into 1.38 then I will certainly try to offer what development assistance I can in the next development cycle.
