Patrick,
thanks for your quick reply. I'm not quite sure whether your answer
is really the answer on what I wanted to ask, so I'll clarify below.

Your be either one rme hammerfall + digital mixing desk with adat
connectors. Otherwise you can use multiple cards but they need to be
wordclock synced so you tracks stay in sample sync with each other. In
that case you could use two rme hdsp multifaces, 2 midiman delta1010s
and there are a couple of other 8 i/o cards with ALSA support.
I think to make sure that this is really what we need I'll have to
provide a better description of the problem. We are developing a
testbed for wireless voice transmission. We will have up to 16 active
phones, that are independently used to receive voice samples. We have
to record each voice transmission to a .WAV file (because this is what
the quality measurement tool understands).
To do this we will have to connect the 16 phones to a Linux box (prefered)
and need the ability to save the voice sample to a file. Each sample is
completely independent of all the other samples. Basically we need the
ability to do "sox /dev/phonespeakerX phoneXsample.wav" where 0 <= X <=
15.
Will we have
16 /dev/dsp devices [e.g. /dev/dsp0 .. /dev/dsp16]?
If you use jack you will have an easy to understand interface for
routing the i/o's.
Following your suggestion I glanced at jack. I'm not quite sure whether
this is really what we are looking for.
Thanks in advance
Joerg
