Steve,
My hardware is an RME Hammerfall Light. I don't know how to determine if
the hardware supports multiple open. Is this easy to figure out? Even if it
does, my understanding is that it doesn't have a mixer, so am I any further
forward? I'm not sure...
I think the 'best' solution is to get all the soft synths set up to use
jack, correct? If so, then I guess my job is to lobby the developers to make
this a priority. Whether they do it soon is yet to be seen.
But even having done that, I need to mix the outputs of all these synths
into a single stereo signal. As I understand jack it doesn't do this for me,
correct? (Actually, I sort of have a hard time sometimes understanding what
jack is doing, other than addressing the latency issue, which is important
unto itself.) This mixing could be done in Ardour, or possibly in Rosegarden
itself where I'm doing the MIDI work in the first place.
I still, as you can tell, do not have a very clear picture of how all the
audio is being routed between all these apps.
Thanks very much,
Mark

Or your hardware supports multiple open, eg. the soundblaser live and
Maestro3 - though both these cards are pretty lousy in other ways.
