Unfortunately a DSP is not magic.  1 channel of 48Khz 16 bit sound 
is 96K/s.  Assuming your samples are spooled from hard disk, Zorro-II
can only transfer a max of 2.5 MB/s, which limits you to about 25 
channels and that is assuming that your drive have no seek time as they
swap between 25 mono AIFF files.  Ie 16 will be your max. At 16 
channel your bus will be close to saturated (that is why Sunrise was 
only 8 channels).

That is the main reason the Audio card I have been working on is 
Zorro-III.  Bus saturation is a very important thing when you are playing
back 8MB/s video at the same time.  The product is called SoundStage
by Applied Magic Inc.  Currently all developement is focused toward
Video and Audio combined editing, although developer for stand alone audio
tools are welcome.
