Standard Mandrake 9.1 install, simple .asoundrc listing the Delta 1010 as first card and an SB Live as second card, then point Audacity to /dev/dsp and click the record button. I have noticed that Audacity works best for this in 48KHz mode, where we could record 8 inputs for long periods of time without any track sync problems. At 44.1 KHz we can reliably record 6 inputs simultaneously, but recording 8 inputs causes some quirks after a minute or two. This is probably due to Audacity rather than ALSA - I should point out that the Audacity team was only working with a four input USB soundcard when they designed the multichannel support, and I think they were more suprised than I was when 8 channels worked via OSS emulation.
