I bought a Layla24 and Cardbus adaptor. Works beatifully with ALSA/JACK/ARDOUR up to 8 channels. However, the soundcard presents the 8 analog channels as device 0 and 8 digital channels as device 1. JACK will only open one device at a time. So in order to record and play back 16 channels

yeah but how? i think you'd have to treat them as something other than normal mice for X, afaik it only allows one pointer at a time - i.e. multiple mice works fine but they all just control the same pointer. program against EVDEV, simple input event layer presents events as byte triplets.

Quite how you determine the format of the .raw file is beyond me - anybody?! .raw files don't have any header, so you have to guess. (The sample format is almost always S16_LE, but for the number of channels (mostly 1 or 2) or the sample rate, you have to try until it doesn't sound too
