actually, i have never done it, but wouldn't you have to link the clocks
of both audio devices in order to avoid timing problems?

wini one told me that one can combine devices with alsa, which includes
some code, that actually synchronizes multiple audio-devices by
software, which includes resampling in order to avoid timing
problems ...
iirc, pd doesn't include such error correction, so it might be a source
of unwanted audio dropouts ...

Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making
something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that
they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it 'creative
observation.' Creative viewing.
