Or will they stay static? If they are all plugged in during boot they will get probed in the same order every time you boot, so yes, they will be static. Be sure to calculate if you have enough bandwidth available to drive such a great number of devices at the same time though : 48KHz * 16-bits sample * stereo * 6 devices = about 48 * 2 * 2 * 6 = 1152 KB/sec . That's about the maximum you can get over USB 1.0, so I'm not sure if you will be able to use them all at the same time at maximum playback rate... So it depends on the quality and sample-rate you need.
