Thanks very much, Paul was a little bit to "short" ;=)

No, this is not quite right for me. sample-sync is not the only reason, why 
someone uses jack. i use it i my app, because
- easy programming interface , better than alsa. 
- take some other apps and get/set data from/to them

i need that inputs not in a harddisk recording / pro audio way. all i need is 
getting the signal into the app, use some effects and put them out again. no 
sample sync, no need for "realtime". all inputs are independed. 
Than i have read http://alsa.opensrc.org/TwoCardsAsOne. 
is this page wrong! 
i thought, one big advantage of jack is, to handle more than one card.

yes, i know. i have read them too. maybe you can explain, what you mean 
exactly with the notion "multichannel device". Is it just a couple of IOs, 
without sync, or are the requirements for pro audios (with sync).

if all this stuff isn't possible, do you have any idea to fix the problem. 

thanks c~
