Nope its the Linux audio users list.

But you want to do it with multiple inputs at one time which is not
actually that simple.
There are a couple of OSS aware apps that do this already. Ecasound is
probably the most well known and SLAB is supposed to do it too although
its never worked for me. I have also heard it's possible in snd but that
it is not easy.
Probably best is to get the code for these apps and read it thoroughly.
BTW. What is your app and maybe you could post a link which might give
people some more motivation to think about what you want to achieve.
