I am trying to use 4-channel output with my m-audio quattro card. I am using planetCCRMA, RH9. the Quattro has 2 stereo devices (defined in alsa as hw:1,0 and hw:1,1.) I was able to define a virtual 4-channel device (using .asoundrc file examples) combining these 2 devices and I can get snd/clm to use this. Does anyone know how I get pd to either recognize a virtual audio device or get pd to recognize the 2 different stereo devices and map them to 4 channels.
i was able to do that with the oss emulation ... i think there is a description in the pd-list archives
I tried using jack but it doesn't work (even with just 2 channels I am having problems so I try to avoid jack completely).
i've never got my quattro running with jack, either ...
hth, tim
