V Green, Thanks for your input, but that is not what I'm trying to do. Let
me clarify a bit more. Basically I'm working on a program that ideally could
be playing any number of sounds at the same time. I would like each sound
that is playing have a setting that can change which output it goes out of.
So with one sound card you have 2 outputs, your left and your right channel.
I would like to have more than 2 options for sending the signal out.

Here's another scenario to help visualize the problem. I have four rooms,
and I want to send a different song to each room that is controlled on my pc.
If i can get 2 sound cards working than I would have 4 distinct outputs, one
for each room. Does that make any sense?
