[PD] 4 outs on a cheap soundcard.

[Josh Steiner]

my pal steve managedto do this with i believe an sb live.  we also did 
it with multiple cheapo consumer cards, but i dont advise it since the 
cards buffers empty at slightly different rates which can result in a 
near constant crackling sound.  here is his message:

I think if you get the emu-tools package from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emu10k1

you can use it to map the rear channels to the second PCM device. I 
don't remember the exact syntax, but you want to map front to PCM0 and 
rear to PCM1.

I had a script that did it, but it probably got erased when we did the 
reinstall
