hola josé,
although it can be a bit funny [and a bit expensive], i still love my Hammerfall DSP card. it has seperate interfaces for laptop and desktop machines, and has no problems running simultaneous 8 inputs and outputs. it gets amazing low latency under ASIO, and with some tuning you can get it to run pretty well with Jack under Linux. see here for Linux configuration details:

i will be using one for a multichannel installation at Medienturm in September.
have a look at VBAP for spatialization software: http://www.acoustics.hut.fi/research/abstracts/vbap.html http://www.akustische-kunst.org/puredata/vbap/vbap.html
good luck derek

at orquestra del caos we are planning a show of artistic works based on pd and max/msp patches especially oriented to control the position of sounds...
we were very grateful for your advices, opinions and experiences on sound cards and computer configurations one should use to successfully run PD on a pentium PC through 8 independent outputs.
thank you in advance
