I can actually only speak for Pd on Linux, but W32-System should do
the same: 

Multiple in/out is no problem for Pd.

Yep. (On Linux, don't know if W32 can go that low.)

Yes, this is easy to do, if you write your own externals. The Pd API
is very clean, and if you want to write externals in C++, you could
use flext, that's what I do in general.

I think, that Mac platform still is a bit experimental and I doubt,
that you can get very low latency with Pd on the Mac currently.

Yes.
