Cool! Thanks Lee.
I know I've seen stuff about this previous and you have long been a
supporter of the usefulness of SB cards. I guess it's nice to know that
I have about 5 SBlive 5.1 (about $19.00 for the OEM version) laying
around that are multi channel cards of sorts! :)

Yes, it works on everything supported by the emu10k1 driver, all the way

Does this work on older SBlive 5.1 cards as well?

You should get 16 in and 16 out. You have to individually select the
multichannel devices for input (hw:x,2) and output (hw:x,3).
What Lee said.
I am using the EMU10K1 driver on both an Audigy2 EX and ZS models.
These cards both have 6 analog inputs (3 stereo lines) and the EX is
6.1 out (7 analog outputs) and the ZS is 7.1 out (8 analog outputs).
I have worked out the mapping from the pcm_capture and pcm_playback
ports to the physical analog inputs and outputs which I will share if
you are interested.
The only problem I found is that the alsa-mixer volume control sliders
are left-right switched for all of the stereo output pairs. I mean,
if you plug a standard 1/8" stereo-to-RCA cable into the stereo output
on the card, the appropriate left slider controls the signal on the
red RCA plug - which is typically the right channel - and vice versa.
This is true for all stereo output pairs.
I reported this bug to the ALSA bugtracker about a year ago
(https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=904), but the
behavior persists....
