Definitely.

I was originally thinking of providing separate input and output device
support, but settled on doing a simple solution first. In order to
prevent clicks, pops, and other audio artefacts, it's important for
multiple audio cards to be synchronized and not drift apart over time,
for a single audio device this is a non-issue.

For the Realtek HD, I've only seen a single output mixer with multiple
input mixers. I'll be interested to hear if there are HD devices with
more than one output mixer.


Thanks,
