+As of the Linux 2.6.10 kernel, it is now possible to change the
+IO scheduler for a given block device on the fly (thus making it possible,
+for instance, to set the CFQ scheduler for the system default, but
+set a specific device to use the anticipatory or noop schedulers - which
+can improve that device's throughput).
+
+To set a specific scheduler, simply do this:
+
+echo SCHEDNAME > /sys/block/DEV/queue/scheduler
+
+where SCHEDNAME is the name of a defined IO scheduler, and DEV is the
+device name (hda, hdb, sga, or whatever you happen to have).
+
+The list of defined schedulers can be found by simply doing
+a "cat /sys/block/DEV/queue/scheduler" - the list of valid names
+will be displayed, with the currently selected scheduler in brackets:
+
+# cat /sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler
+noop anticipatory deadline [cfq]
+# echo anticipatory > /sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler
+# cat /sys/block/hda/queue/scheduler

+3.2 - Getting 2 input and/or output interfaces in Jack
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+As you can see, starting the Jack server this way will only enable 1 stereo
+input (Di or Ai) and 1 stereo output (Ao or Do).
+
+This is due to the following restrictions:
+* Jack can only open one capture device and one playback device at a time
+* The Audiophile USB is seen as 2 (or three) Alsa devices: hw:1,0, hw:1,1
+  (and optionally hw:1,2)
+If you want to get Ai+Di and/or Ao+Do support with Jack, you would need to
+combine the Alsa devices into one logical "complex" device.
+
+If you want to give it a try, I recommend reading the information from
+this page: http://www.sound-man.co.uk/linuxaudio/ice1712multi.html
+It is related to another device (ice1712) but can be adapted to suit
+the Audiophile USB.
+
+Enabling multiple Audiophile USB interfaces for Jackd will certainly require:
+* patching Jack with the previously mentioned "Big Endian" patch
+* patching Jackd with the MMAP_COMPLEX patch (see the ice1712 page)
+* patching the alsa-lib/src/pcm/pcm_multi.c file (see the ice1712 page)
+* define a multi device (combination of hw:1,0 and hw:1,1) in your .asoundrc
+  file 
+* start jackd with this device
+
+I had no success in testing this for now, but this may be due to my OS
+configuration. If you have any success with this kind of setup, please
