Once again, some tech geekiness.

For raw, 16-bit sterio, at 48 KHz (48000 Hz), you're pumping roughly 192K a second.

SCSI can hack that.  Heck, any ISA bus should be able to hack that, it's running at 8 MHz.  That's nearly 4 times the speed.  It makes me think PCI was there for ethernet, video, and other heavy-bandwith apps. 

So, anyone know of any SCSI adapters for embedded chips?

3D positional audio and DSP's is what drove audio cards to PCI, and that fact that ISA was being phased out. You can get 192Khz 48bit audio if you wanted. Overkill, but the precision is necessary in mixing.

Also multichannel, DVDs are up to 7 channels.

Nah, I can't see that for my application. Two channels are good. We'll tell ALSA to fake the rest.
