You might find something on the jack/freebob sites. Specifically, here's a
list of devices supported on freebob:
http://freebob.sourceforge.net/index.php/List_of_Supported_Devices
it's NOT alsa though, if you must use that. If you're writing a java app,
you can even use jjack to interface jack.
HOWEVER: I'm writing an application that also needs to output up to 8-10
channels, but I also need input. I though the the Terratec Phase 88 solved
all my problems combined with jack/freebob, but found to my surprise that
the input channels were PASSIVE! That is, unlike ordinary soundcards, you
can't use ordinary headset type microphones, I need to preamplify the signal
before giving it to to the Terratec rack...
So: anyone knows of any really cheap multichannel preamp? I don't need
professional sound, just phone/GSM type quality.
