I was at Altos using z80's with 64Kb of ram.  I helped write an OS
called AMEX.  I then left to go work on a real unix port, which
was the first port of unix onto a micro at company call Onyx.
Do you remember those stupid shirts that said:
"Altos goes hard with 8 inches".

I would like to help out on this project if anything gets started.
I built a house about 5 years ago.  I did the multi source music
every where thing.  It hasn't worked in years.  I would love to have
control via a linux box.

What is the biggest multi channel alsa device running today?
8x16 would be nice.  4 audio sources into 8 areas.
