my pal steve managedto do this with i believe an sb live. we also did it with multiple cheapo consumer cards, but i dont advise it since the cards buffers empty at slightly different rates which can result in a near constant crackling sound. here is his message:
I think if you get the emu-tools package from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1
you can use it to map the rear channels to the second PCM device. I don't remember the exact syntax, but you want to map front to PCM0 and rear to PCM1.
I had a script that did it, but it probably got erased when we did the reinstall

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.
