Basically I need to record about 6 channels of audio simutaneously to a computer harddrive (automatically, with no user interaction once the system is set-up). Can this be done?

I know most sound card/onboard sound support port remapping. So effectively I have 6+ audio-in ports on a single motherboard, is there a way to get the software to record those 6 streams separately, independently?

If I am still not making myself clear, think of it as an audio surveillance system.

OS is not an issue, Linux/Windows are both possible.

I tried using multiple instances of Audacity, but couldn't get it to record from different source. [no]
