i have never tried RME or other multichannel cards with pd but i used 4 sb-128pci soundcards for a cheap 8-channel (dac~ 1 , dac~ 2 ... dac~ 8) solution in an exhibition(different interviews[mono-soundfiles] triggered by external midi events). this solution worked fine, but i didn't (have to) care for sync.

Hi,
Sorry, this is not exactly an answer to your question: in fact it's another related question.
I seem to remember there is some experience among members of this list of the RME soundcards under Linux, and using them with PD.
Has anyone successfully achieved multichannel i/o using an RME card and PD (Linux)? It seems to me one of the RME cards is probably the best way to go, in terms of h/ware spec and driver support, but if anyone has other ideas....
At the University of Glasgow here we are interested in setting up a Pd box to do some sound spatialisation stuff. If anyone has any info or experience in this area, I'd be interested to share ideas/problems as we'd really like to get this going quickly.
cheers,
Nick
