Hi,
  Great to see you have made these useful changes.

  The radio interferometry stuff I have been working on essentially
needs coherently sampled data to work. To date I have been limited to
using two receivers because I only have a stereo sound card. It is
difficult to use two stereo cards as there is no way to ensure samples
are taken coherently.

  So my interest has really been stimulated by the discussion about
sound cards featuring >2 channels. Can anybody suggest a good card with
>2 inputs which is supported by the OSS drivers and hence which should
work with GNUradio?

  Thanks in advance,
    Dave
