	of course you may install several soundcards
under Windows. The problem I see is that Windows (95)
only seems to know 1 input and output at a time. So you
may use one card's input and another one's output at
a time, but never two cards inputs(or out). However,
ActiveSound may work differently. Anyway, there might
be some clever software that manages this somehow. I
would definitely like to know ...

You mean DirectSound, perhaps ?

There shouldn't be any problem with "1 input/output" limitation. It means
"1 default input, 1 default output". You can specify device other than
"default" in waveOutOpen/waveInOpen (?).

In DirectSound you can enumerate all wave output (or input) devices, and
use corresponding ones (you get a pointer to the IDirectSound interface,
each of them represents one sound output device).

All of these are AFAIK, of course. My memory isn't very precise :(
