hi! i've never used a cheap 5.1 soundcard for that purpose, but ionce tried to use 4 channels on a sb-pci 128 and the crosstalk between the two outlets was too big. i ended up using 4 soundblastercards in that one machine for 8 (mono-)channels, which worked well. regards d13b

I might help a person set up an installation which contains both video and sound all running in pd, and is now giving some free advices.
He needs 4 audio outs from pd, so I reccomended the delta44 soundcard. He asked if it was possible to use a cheap soundcard instead (I presume the soundquality is not that important for this). But I have no idea how well that works.
Anyone have experience having 4 outs (an "adc~ 1 2 3 4" object) on a cheap soundcard (one of those 5.1 cards or something) in pd. Does it work?
Pd is going to run linux.
