This document is a guide to using the emu10k1 based devices with JACK for low
latency, multichannel recording functionality. All of my recent work to allow
Linux users to use the full capabilities of their hardware has been inspired

-Low latency, multichannel audio with JACK and the emu10k1/emu10k2
------------------------------------------------------------------
Until recently, emu10k1 users on Linux did not have access to the same low
latency, multichannel features offered by the "kX ASIO" feature of their
fairly self explanatory - select Duplex, then for capture and playback select
the multichannel devices, set the in and out channels to 16, and the sample
rate to 48000Hz. The command line looks like this:
+::
-/usr/local/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p64 -n2 -D -Chw:0,2 -Phw:0,3 -S
+ /usr/local/bin/jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p64 -n2 -D -Chw:0,2 -Phw:0,3 -S
This will give you 16 input ports and 16 output ports.
The 16 output ports map onto the 16 FX buses (or the first 16 of 64, for the
Audigy). The mapping from FX bus to physical output is described in
-SB-Live-mixer.txt (or Audigy-mixer.txt).
+sb-live-mixer.rst (or audigy-mixer.rst).
The 16 input ports are connected to the 16 physical inputs. Contrary to
popular belief, all emu10k1 cards are multichannel cards. Which of these
ports to FXBUS2 (multitrack recording input) and EXTOUT (physical output)
channels.
