they are selected in the mixer app)
My mental model of this is that each subdevice represents a separate (stereo)
ADC. (BTW The ordering of hw0,0,[0,1,2] may be independent of the order of
those controls in the mixer app)
How do I do to make jackd understand that it should
open all three of
them instead of only one?
As long as they all run from the same clock, you can create a 6
channel 'device' in your .asoundrc
Two examples follow.
The first is parameterised on card/dev/subdev
Eg ttable4:1,2,3 will use card1, device2, link subdevices 3 and 4 into a 4
channel stream.
The second is 16 channel with only card as a parameter. Always uses device0,
subdevices 0..7 (You can cut this one down to make your 6 channel device)
use it like: jackd -d alsa -C ttable16
Sorry I don't know how to make it less verbose, or how to make the number of
channels parameterisable.
