ad 1)
ad 2) i just tried to use 2 motu828 firewire-interfaces (with 8in/8out each) but only managed to get output from 8 channels. not necessarily from only one of the interfaces but for example 4out the first and 4 out the second. i wonder if i didn't set the flags right. i've tried at least 723 combinations. among them:
pd -inchannels 16 -outchannels 16 -soundindev 1,6 -soundoutdev 1,6 ... ..lets me use the 8 channels of the first interface
pd -inchannels 16 -outchannels 16 -soundindev 6,1 -soundoutdev 6,1 ... ..lets me use the 8 channels of the second interface
..-outchannels 8,8 ..doesn't help ..-soundoutdev 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9..neither what should be the right combination??
pd -listdev returns the following: audio input device #1: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 1-2 audio input device #2: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 3-4 audio input device #3: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 5-6 audio input device #4: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 7-8 audio input device #5: MOTU 828 #1: SPDIF 1-2 audio input device #6: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 1-2 audio input device #7: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 3-4 audio input device #8: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 5-6 audio input device #9: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 7-8 audio input device #10: MOTU 828 #2: SPDIF 1-2 audio output device #1: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 1-2 audio output device #2: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 3-4 audio output device #3: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 5-6 audio output device #4: MOTU 828 #1: Analog 7-8 audio output device #5: MOTU 828 #1: SPDIF 1-2 audio output device #6: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 1-2 audio output device #7: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 3-4 audio output device #8: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 5-6 audio output device #9: MOTU 828 #2: Analog 7-8 audio output device #10: MOTU 828 #2: SPDIF 1-2
ad 3) then i wanted to do the whole thing with asio, as the motu828 states to come with asio drivers. but starting pd -asio returns:
in 2 out 2 rate 44100 using default device number: 0 nchan 2, flags 3, bufs 4, framesperbuf 256 PaASIO_QueryDeviceInfo: numDrivers = 0 PaASIO_QueryDeviceInfo: numDrivers = 0
..and hangs. am i missing something here?
