This is not possible at the moment.  The three supported interfaces (ALSA,
OSS, RME) can only be used one at a time.  It is possible that multiple
interfaces can be supported with ALSA, but it is not currently.  Also, the
PD ALSA code is about to break as the ALSA developers have decided to make
more changes to the API.  I have some working code to do MMAP mode with
ALSA but I have been sitting on it waiting for the dust to settle.  What
may be possible is multiple instances of PD using netsend/netreceive.
Anybody have thoughts on this?

That should be possible.  I also have a mtof that does just intonation (or
anything else you want as long as it is 12 notes per octave) with an
arbitrary A.  It needs to be fixed up so that it is usable, though.  I
will try to find some time in the next two/three weeks to finish it up.
Glad to know someone else is interested in this!

I like the reverb from 44.delay.reverb.pd and pd .30 comes with a reverb
patch under extras.  Both are stereo, though.

I've got one that someone else did - I will get him to post it to the
list.
