Here (linux) this does work, if I simply tell the dac~ which channels to use, say
I use [dac~ 1 2 3 4], then I get four inlets for each channel, that I can
send signals to. But maybe your Creamware is treated as two soundcards by
the OS. Then you should activate it with -soundindev. Or you could try the
option "-outchannels 4" to force PD into realizing it has 4 output
channels.
