hi !
i just bought two cheap sound cards (Terratec Aureon 5.1 PCI) in addition to the default card on the mother board... i just want to get 6-mono input channels and 6 output channels into PD or jack... on the pure:dyne, when i set "use multiple devices" on OSS, i can hear "the test tone" on the cards' outputs... but i can capture the line-in signal only for the first one (the chipset card) but not for the new cards. i have no idea if it's just about setting PD or if it's a driver problem (i just "use" linux so i don't really know how to configure things...) if someone has ideas or knows tutorials...
thanks a lot

configuring multiple sound cards in linux will depend somewhat on which version you're using. Here is some basic info for FC5 (as an example):
ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/node5.html#SECTION00050800000000000000
My (meager) experience was that there might be issues with the order the cards are defined. My FC8 works fine as long as the USB card is the first (snd-card-0).

What you're trying to do here is known as the "el cheapo" multichannel soundcard configuration in Linux Audio circles. You can google for that term to find a lot of people who also tried it or use: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TwoCardsAsOne as a start.
To make a long story short: El cheapo doesn't work very well, if at all. Soundcards have to be in sync to work properly, and your two soundcards (Aureon + onboard) will never be in sync. The closest you can get probably is to use netjack. But for 6in/6out your precious time could be put to better use if you buy a real multichannel card like the M-Audio Delta 1010(LT) or equivalent ICE1721 cards by Terratec etc.
