Thanks for all the feedback on output capacity. What I am hearing is
that what I want to do is not at all pushing the limits of performance,
and that's a good thing.

The only other issue is that if I am pushing 48 streams of audio out of
the computer, what is the most efficient path from HD to output?
Should I use lossless data compression and unpack it in a processing
thread to minimize disk I/O, should I use purely uncompressed files off
a RAID array to minimize CPU time, and what format should I send to
CoreAudio? I guess I have a choice of floats or linear-PCM. What will
be faster/better for this saturation case?

Thanks a lot for the input- this is incredibly helpful.
