So what can Pd do? I need a multichannel sampler (capable of sampling any/all 16 channels of my soundcard simultaneously without any clicktrack). Obviously I'd be looking at, at least, editing or modifying existing code since what I describe does not exist at the moment, but I need to make sure Pd can:- (a) access the soundcard inputs/outputs (I have Midiman 10/10')

I can actually only speak for Pd on Linux, but W32-System should do the same:

Multiple in/out is no problem for Pd.

(b) have little or no latency (<5ms??)

Yep. (On Linux, don't know if W32 can go that low.)

(c) ideally have access to each sample as it arrives, so I can write a routine in C that does the appropriate buffering/sorting

Yes, this is easy to do, if you write your own externals. The Pd API is very clean, and if you want to write externals in C++, you could use flext, that's what I do in general.

also, I'm not sure whether I need a Mac or whether the Windows version would satisfy the low-latency criteria.

I think, that Mac platform still is a bit experimental and I doubt, that you can get very low latency with Pd on the Mac currently.

is ASIO compatibility available in Pd?

Yes.
