1) Guilluemot HSP64, EWS64 both do multi streams (numbers of streams above 8, seems limited by CPU) 2) Monster Sound cards can do multi streams (up to 23 stereo in hardware using DirectSound) Those are two I'm aware of...I'm sure there are many more...mainly any of the boards based on the DREAM chipset (HSP64, EWS64) should do multistreams The Monster sound is cheaper here in the US by about 50 dollars than the HSP64....but with the HSP64 you get S/PDIF out/in, good S/N ratios, RCA out/in, and some other very nice features, Great for audio apps...ok for games. Monster is a much better game board in that it supports A3D audio in hardware. Where as the HSP64 only supports MSDS3D, and poorly at that. So my .02 cents worth. Since your going to be using for audio/radio get the HSP64.
