yes, if it's just about acquisition and you don't intend to do any
processing with it. btw, each half of a smuxed stream should be a
reasonable 48k/24bit stream btw, which you could listen to, not noise.

i'm not aware of any software implementation of smuxing, but i'd be
interested to hear more about it. the only times i've used smuxing was
with a focusrite pro26 and a rme hdsp, both of which seem to do it
either in hardware or at the driver level, so that the user doesn't get
to see how it's done.
