I haven't tried it, but I think so. One could also multiplex front and
back mic so either is recorded to the same channels.

It's possible, but I'm not sure what this particular device would
record since there are no input devices in the association.

> the hda controllers usually have only four SDO which are shared by analog
output and digital output, this means only four devices can be playing but you
may have four analog outputs and two digital outputs

I see. That would explain why there are always only four pcm devices
despite there being more associations configured.

I'm afraid I don't know any more about sound on FreeBSD.

If you're still curious, you could try it for yourself. The FreeBSD
install media (CD iso/USB img) has a Live CD option. If you email me
directly I can help you get it working. You could also ask on the
freebsd-hackers mailing list.
