Hello all,
I'm preemptivly asking a question that'll hopefully be put to
good use this week. I found a nice deal on a Delta44 off Ebay the other
night, and jumped on it. Can't wait until it shows up!
However, I'd like to *add* it to my machine, and keep me SB Live
for some stuff like everyday listening and perhaps some cheap output
monitoring. I've had friends tell me this doesn't work in Windows
because Windows will only record at the lowest-common-denominator
capabilities of all cards in the system (ie, 16/44 in a system with an
Delta44 and an SBLive).
Is this an issue with either ALSA or OSS in Linux 2.4? Also, I
know there are emu10k1 audio routing utilities, and I know there are
envy24 audio routing utilities. Is there a way I can route audio
between the two cards at all?

You can add a second card without problems in ALSA (you don't want OSS
with your Delta card). They just are two devices like card0 and card1.
I don't know what you mean with routing between the cards? Of course
you can connect them with cables but if you want to use them both as
one card with lots of channels: that won't work.

I was thinking I might use the SBLive PCM Out to monitor occasionally.
I know I wouldn't be able to record with both due to drift, but would
monitoring work ok? Would I be able to use the hardware mixing in the
Live and/or Delta?
ie, let's say I've got some people miked up, and monitoring with the
four input and output channels on the Delta. Could I use the output
channel on the Live to monitor the session?
Hopefully I'll get to play with everything soon enough ::-)

I have a SBLive and a M-Audio Audiophile in my main box, but I was
thinking along the same lines on my notebook, where I wanted to use
the internal soundchip for monitoring and a usb audio dev. for quality
PA sound. I could not get it to work with .asoundrc-magic at all, but
in theory it should be possible. But even then, the different block
sizes and hardware of the two cards, that are forced together, would
probably have led to problems with one interface not being able to
keep up with the other. Maybe some expert here can explain this in
more detail, but I think it wouldn't work. The general rule would
still apply: If you need more channels, buy cards with more channels
or cards, that can be linked in hardware. I guess, two Deltas for
example can be linked.
