With Audacity (which also uses OSS emulation) you just choose /dev/dsp 
and the number of recording channels you want, up to 16. 
Unfortunately Audacity 1.1.3 doesn't seem to scale well beyond four 
input channels on our machine.

Does tkeca have native ALSA support, or does it use OSS emulation 
only?

Thanks
