-  Ardour will only ever deal with a single <dfn>audio device</dfn>. When it is
-  desired to use more than one audio device at the same time, there are two
-  choices:
-</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>Use Ardour to start JACK (which handles all audio I/O), and create a
-  "fake" audio device which represents all the multiple devices to be used. How
-  to do this is platform dependent and described below.</li>
-  <li>Use a different tool to start JACK and manage all the devices.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-  Ardour is fundamentally designed to be a component in a pro-audio/music
-  creation environment. Standard operating practice for such setups involves
-  using only a single digital <dfn>sample clock</dfn> (something counting off
-  the time between audio samples). This means that trying to use multiple
-  independent soundcards is problematic, because each soundcard has its own
-  sample clock, running independently from the others. Over time, these
-  different clocks <dfn>drift</dfn> out of sync with each other, which causes
-  glitches in the audio. This drift cannot be stopped, although in some cases
-  the effects may be insignificant enough that they might not be noticeable.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-  Thus, in an ideal world, a single device with a single clock and all the inputs,
-  outputs and other features needed should be used. Of course, there are those
-  who like to point out that this is not an ideal world, and believe that software
-  should make up for this.
-</p>

-<h2>OS X</h2>
-
-<p>
-  In CoreAudio, <dfn>aggregate devices</dfn> provide a method to use multiple
-  soundcards as a single device. For example, two eight-channel devices can be
-  aggregated so that 16 channels can be recorded in Ardour.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-  Another example is using Soundflower to route audio to Ardour. To output the
-  audio through the speakers you will have to create an aggregate device to specify
-  Soundflower as the input and Built-in-Output as the output. In the Audio/MIDI Setup
-  in Ardour specify the aggregate device as both the Input and Output devices. And then
-  on the master track ensure you have specified the correct output channels. For example,
-  if you are using Soundflower(64) as input, Channels 65/66 will be the output
-  channels on your master track.
-</p>
-
-<div class="note">
-<p>
-  When using a <em>single</em> typical 3rd party audio interface (such as those
-  from Apogee, RME, Presonus, and many others), <em>or</em> using JackPilot or
-  a similar application to start JACK, there is no need to worry about any of
-  this. An aggregate device only needs to be set up if any of the following
-  conditions are true:
-
-<ul>
-  <li>Two entirely separate devices are used <em>and</em> JACK is started using
-  Ardour</li>
-  <li>A <dfn>builtin audio device is used</dfn> <em>and</em> JACK is started
-  using Ardour</li>
-  <li>More than two entirely separate devices are used</li>
-</ul>
-</div>
-
-<p>
-  In the case of a builtin audio device, an aggregate device that combines
-  "Builtin Input" and "Builtin Output" into one device needs to be created.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-  The precise instructions for creating an aggregate device on OS X have varied
-  from one released to another. Please read <a
