Audio Engine Design question

Hello everyone,

The device I'm working with has got 12 analogical line inputs (24bit) as well as a couple of S/PDIF (one coaxial, one optical).

Which layout would be best:

A: 1 input stream with 16 channels

B: 1 input stream with 12 channels
1 input stream with 2 channels (coaxial)
1 input stream with 2 channels (optical)

C: 6 input streams with 2 channels
1 input stream with 2 channels (coaxial)
1 input stream with 2 channels (optical)

D: 12 input streams with 1 channel
1 input stream with 2 channels (coaxial)
1 input stream with 2 channels (optical)

E: Other


1 input stream with 12 channels works fine in Ableton Live but crashes SoundStudio and Amadeus. Maybe it's safer not to have more than 2 channels per streams. On the other hand, I've seen one audio driver do that....

For the moment I use solution B but I am tempted to go for solution C, but what bothers me is that the Audio MIDI Setup displays information only for the first stream, so the user might think the device has got only one stereo input :-/

Laurent
