I thought about this route, but the issue is I don't want interruptions in the rooms already listening to music. Maybe if feed all four input sources into split out sinks (splitting each input into 4 null-sink outputs in the end), I could then attach the final sound card outputs on demand without interruption to the other rooms listening... I'm not quite sure how the layout would work. You may be on to something here! Let me look at this and do some investigation. Thanks for the idea man!
