Thanks Jeff,

I'll let you know what my macmini will be able to do...

This is off topic but if anyone has informations or links on this usb limitation (I've also planned to chain hubs to hubs), I'm interested.

Thanks

Léo

The practical upper bound is memory and CPU usage. As long as there is enough of those resources, you should be able to aggregate as many devices as you want.

That said, USB does have a bandwidth ceiling that will limit the number of devices you can attach to one port on the Mac.

I'm not sure if it's the correct list to post this question but I suppose that by knowing the inner code of the coreaudio API, you'll be able to answer my question.

For an art installation prototype, I've succesfully and (very easily) managed to aggregate 4 cheap usb soundcards to the built-in one to create a 10 output device.

Now I want to expand my prototype and before going further I wonder if there's a limit in the number of devices the coreaudio API can deal with ? can aggregate ?
Also, is there a limit in the number of usb device I can connect to a single port ? (let's suppose they're connected through several self-powered usb hubs).
