What lower cost 7+1 cards can be used as reliable 4xstereo device under Alsa ?

What lower cost 7+1 cards can be used as reliable 4xstereo device under Alsa ?

[Robert Rozman]

Hi,

I'd like to have device with 4 independent stereo channels. I wonder what
card is lower cost, 7+1 channel, widely known, that could be also used for 4
independent stereo devices under Alsa - it's important to work flawlessly in
this mode (I'm running alc650 as 3 stereo channels but do get some weird
artifacts with dmix plugin).

Any config examples, experience would be helpful ...

Thanks in advance,

Robert.

for 7.1 output, the boards based on VT1724 would be a good candidate,
such as M-Audio revo 7.1.
