What is the point of using multiple cards to play sounds together, rather than mixing them in software and playing the resulting stream on one _good_ sound card ? > Don't have the slightest idea how to.

I have to say that the ossfreee 3.8 code (the linux version, which is available in source format) is much more readable than previous ones (or perhaps I have more experience...) so you could start from the documentation in the doc/ directory in my driver, and then try to look at the ossfree code for the PAS. But I don't think I will ever support the PAS in such a way that two independent, simultaneous channels are available. Does Voxware support this ?
