Open Source Drivers For Devices w/ Mulitiple Audio Inputs?

Posted by Cliff on Monday December 18, 2000 @11:24AM from the more-recording-channels-than-your-average-sound-card dept.

krystal_blade asks: "I've seen a couple of proprietary recording systems (for phone lines) made by Denro and Stancil that have the capability to record over 40 channels of audio simultaneously. They run around 25K $$ to own, and tech support is atrocious (around 250 dollars a half hour) These programs are almost all integrated into Microsoft-based operating system. Is there currently an open source solution to this? (As a side note, I'm also looking for a Linux compatibility solution to mulitiple channel audio boards)"

Telephony cards by Chris+Hiner · 2000-12-18 09:03 · Score: 3

If this is for phone quality recording, you could use a telephony board, like ones from Dialogic, Natural Microsystems, Pika...
I know that Dialogic makes 16 channel analog, and 48 channel digital (T1) cards, and has Linux/SCO/Unixware/Sun drivers.
I havn't checked lately to see what platforms they've been ported to, but NMS opensourced their drivers a while ago...
