good point. no idea what Lucian will decide, but i think it would be 
good to save those settings. if the bus is not present, just use a 
default value... so as long as you use the same computer, with the same 
cards, you won't have to re-set those setting every time.

but i don't think it should be saved as a project attribute, but rather 
as a song attribute, as different song in a same project may require 
different routing.

are you sure you can access these 6 channels with 6 independent 
interleaved signals ?
so yes, it would be interesting to test it with sub-device routing...
but it would be more interesting to have 6 inputs ;-)

my sb live is a 5+1, that means it has 5 channels, + one subwoofer 
channel, but i don't think that they can be accessed as 6 mono 
channels... i thought  you access them with a signal with a special 
encoding (even perhaps compressed), which is used by movies and so...

but perhaps your emi 2|6 can...
