Multichannel Audio Mixing

Hello,

I'm trying to help a friend of mine with a audio project. My audio-knowledge ist pretty limited so I'm here to ask some questions :)

Project:
We have 2 rooms with 7 active speakers which are connected to a usb audio interface (AI). We want to send "atmospheric" music which runs on 4 of them at the start. Then there are trigger points which leads to specials sounds which will be played on just one.

We want to play mono-audio on just specific channels of the AI. Best platform would be a RasPi. The AI will be linux-compatible but we are searching for the best solution.

I checked a couple project of others and found out that RTAudio should be the best. There are programs like Max7 which can provide this kind of feature, so it should be possible.

My simple question is "am I correct?" or is there a better solution than RTAudio? If anyone of you know some sample projects, I would highly appreciate it.


Kindly regards,

This question would probably be better for the Lounge.
