For my usage, dropouts won't really be a problem, as I'm only interested in the average sound power on each input, not the sound itself. (Am I wrong here?)
this has to be tested (just to be sure, that the clicks aren't too "loud")
but exactly this kind of application was in my mind when i mentioned "dropouts might be no problem for you"
Maybe the more practical way is multiple PD instances, but I'd rather prefer to have PD manage multiple sound cards, as some other apps do (at least, AFAIK).
So, please, could you explain to me how you have used multiple soudcards??
i used hammerfall cards which can be stacked (as mentioned before) via an internal sync-cable. each card offered 26 channels (3*ADAT+1*aes/ebu), but i only wanted to use the ADATs, so i called "pd -audiodev 1,2 -channels 24,24" or similar (cannot remember exactly; the "-audiodev"-line should be fairly redundant.)
