No, the hardware is one eight-channel device. AFAIK there is no supported PCIe card with independent devices. > Meaning, that I can assign MPD outputs to each pair separately? You could create virtual software devices by putting something like this into /etc/asound.conf: pcm_slave.eightchannels { pcm "hw:0" channels 8 rate 48000 buffer_size 4096 # make these sizes smaller for lower latency period_size 2048 } pcm.ch12 { type dmix ipc_key 47110815 slave eightchannels bindings [ 0 1 ] } pcm.ch34 { type dmix ipc_key 47110815 slave eightchannels bindings [ 2 3 ] } # ...
