Hi

I'd like to address 4 outputs under linux. Currently my soundcard has only 2 channels out. So before I rush out and buy something I'd like to know: can chuck can handle multiple outputs?


Yes, it can. And multiple inputs as well. I'm not sure if there is a max to that but I tested it up to 10 channels.

I think, BTW, that Jack should be perfectly fine with letting you work with a dozen virtual outputs even if those would eventually all end up at stereo out (maybe after effects or some multi-track program or....). Jack doesn't assume programs just want to send audio to the card, it's fine with sending it to other programs instead.

Your request channels at the start of the VM, if your code goes over that max you'll get a null-pointer exception.

Yours,
Kas.
