[ardour-dev] Multiple Soundcards?

[Kjetil S. Matheussen]

In the netjack package, there is a program called "alsa_client" or 
something similar. Lets say your card #1 is hw:0 and your card #2 is 
hw:1, then first start jackd connecting to hw:0, then run the alsa_client 
program connecting to hw:1.

If you have used qjackctl, you should now see ports for both your cards.

Card #2 will resample in software though, so its not the ultimate 
solution. But chances are that its impossible to hear any difference 
compared to syncing the cards by wire.
