This could be a way of doing it in Vanilla using [random] and some features of the [text] object - if I understood correctly what you are tying to do :-)
(in this example the audio sources aren't [readsf~] but just some random 'different enough' sources - in your case you should replace each of the sources with the specific [readsf~] you need to route)
Hope this helps.

is there a somewhat elegant way to route 8 audio outputs (from readsf~) to 8 dac~ outputs randomly (on a bang for example)?
i.e. out1 to dac4, out2 to dac7 etc.
each output is allowed to one dac~ channel only.
mathematically speaking that would be 8! 8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 (40320) possibilites, but i don’t see an easy way to program this in puredata.
some way of dynamic patching maybe? or a throw~ and catch~ approach? i get stuck on the random logic, since every “step” that chooses a destinations changes the subsequent outputs that are still allowed to be chosen.
