What is the use case for many sound cards ?

Is it channel count or the need for networking or both ?

Ha, I'll raise you two. I'd like to run 11 sounds cards with Jack. At 192 mega bored.
Raise me if you dare, I have a good hand, it's prime.

Hello,
* I'd like to run up to nine soundcards with Jack. *

Eight times Expert Sleepers ES-8 via USB
and one RME Madi HDSPe card on a PCIe slot.

In Linux at 96 kilobauds.

I read here
https://jackaudio.org/faq/multiple_devices.html
about clocking issues as each card is run by it's own clock.

*Will the asynchronously clocked streams be handled and merged by Jack or is this an ongoing issue? *

I imagine, if I'd feed analog outputs of one card into the analog inputs of another, this wouldn't be ideal. But I am wondering if Jack is handling the asynchronous streams in the software-domain without glitches ect. ?

*With a powerful computer is the latency going to rise absurdly high? Any experience with this? *


As Jack-Devel-List is dead, I'm asking here.

With best regards,
 Manuel
