Right.

Understood.

Right.  I assume this is in response to my remark about sharing a sound
device with more than 1 pair of outputs.  I was pressuming that the use
of multiple pairs in an audio device was being done through some kind of
virtual access to the hardware that presented as separate devices.

I have a faint recollection of somebody cooking up a solution for doing
this but I cannot find anything about it now.  Of course it would
involve having to mix two "virtual" inputs into the card to get it to work.

Maybe this is what I had read before:
