Well, I'd say the number of playback streams rather is limited by PulseAudio.
Because PulseAudio does not set up all outputs on a soundcard as separate
output devices by default, even if the soundcard has several outputs and even
if the soundcard supports several playback streams.
As far as I can tell, the only way for a user to actually know if his soundcard
supports several playback streams is by fiddling around with the terminal
and/or config files using things like "load-module module-alsa-sink
device=hw:x,x" to enable the other outputs.
Why doesn't PulseAudio simply set up all outputs on a soundcard as separate
output devices by default to save the usera from all this trouble?
That way a user could check out the limitations of his soundcard himself and
could use it to it's full potential.
