John,

You should go back and read the thread on the exact same subject here:

http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.ecasound.general

See 16-Nov-2005 at 14:49. To summarize, I've got 2 Delta 1010LTs
configured and grabbing 16 channels at once. I could not get the
pcm_multi plugin to work just using the alsasound tools and ecasound,
but I am able to capture from the two cards simultaneously with sync'ed
clocks (via envy24control setup) to 16 individual .wav files like this:

ecasound -C -q -t:900 \
 -a:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 -f:16,8,44100 -i:alsa,analog8_1 \
 -a:A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H -f:16,8,44100 -i:alsa,analog8_2 \
 -a:1 -f:16,1,44100 -o:t11.wav \
 -a:2 -f:16,1,44100 -o:t12.wav -erc:2,1 \
 -a:3 -f:16,1,44100 -o:t13.wav -erc:3,1 \
 -a:4 -f:16,1,44100 -o:t14.wav -erc:4,1 \
 -a:5 -f:16,1,44100 -o:t15.wav -erc:5,1 \
 -a:6 -f:16,1,44100 -o:t16.wav -erc:6,1 \
 -a:7 -f:16,1,44100 -o:t17.wav -erc:7,1 \
 -a:8 -f:16,1,44100 -o:t18.wav -erc:8,1 \
 -a:A -f:16,1,44100 -o:t21.wav \
 -a:B -f:16,1,44100 -o:t22.wav -erc:2,1 \
 -a:C -f:16,1,44100 -o:t23.wav -erc:3,1 \
 -a:D -f:16,1,44100 -o:t24.wav -erc:4,1 \
 -a:E -f:16,1,44100 -o:t25.wav -erc:5,1 \
 -a:F -f:16,1,44100 -o:t26.wav -erc:6,1 \
 -a:G -f:16,1,44100 -o:t27.wav -erc:7,1 \
 -a:H -f:16,1,44100 -o:t28.wav -erc:8,1

I'd be interested to hear how you got pcm_multi working and if I can
translate that into how I'm using ecasound.
