But I don't think you need any more than one card if you use something like jack or pulseaudio. You would just have 8 players running and their output would be mixed via jack or pulse and sent to the soundcard as a mixed stream. For that matter, I think alsa by default uses the dmix plugin which will mix streams automatically, so should work for this case.
