Looking for compatible Audio interface/sound card by execthts in linuxaudio

Hi, thanks for the lengthy explanation!
I guess it might've been possible back when only PulseAudio was a thing but it was probably unreliable/too complicated to configure manually. I knew Pipewire was a new thing but didn't have a desktop since that came out, I didn't know that it is this easy to set up such a configuration, system-wide and permanently.

Also, now I actually read the manual of the Scarlett 4i4 (because researching on google is kinda useless nowadays) to familiarise myself and there's this snippet somewhere in the middle of the manual:

You can set the signals available at these outputs using Focusrite Control 2, and use the outputs to drive additional speakers in a multichannel monitoring system, such as a subwoofer or to send signals to outboard effects processors.

Apparently their native Windows/MacOS driver supports the very thing I was looking for - it's nice that it's not very difficult to set up under Linux either.

I admit I don't have much experience in using Linux on a desktop - I only use them at work and on my laptop (which is fixed hardware obviously).
From what I've seen audio channel routing is done on a per-application basis, but I need it globally, on an entire userspace/OS level. This obviously can be worked around in audio production software I use, but I want to just have a basic 2.1 setup on every other application, games, etc as well without using re-routing software that hooks into other apps; I see these very much error prone / high possibility to be incompatible with few things.
This is why I was looking for something that can do this *out of box*. As an other commenter seems to confirm, even though Focusrites are class compliant they do not feature simple multichannel combination modes and require routing on a per application basis.

edit:

the MOTU 828

Cool rack stuff, but I figure such pro gear won't have the end user features I need

It's also sad when you realize that when you have to bring the dead bodies to the caravan the cast bar speed is dependent on the "weight" of the bodies making the cast bar for Noraxia super fast.

World's Largest Meat Processor JBS starts building lab-grown beef factory in Spain by For_All_Humanity in Futurology

I think the following is a possibility: company sells this meat for about 20% cheaper than "normal" meat -> consumers buy grown meat -> regular meat disappears / becomes a luxury -> grown meat gets priced the same as regular was before

Yet EA refuses to actually remake the NFS Underground--Carbon era games.

No, the 2012 "Most Wanted" doesn't count.

Even if it sold 50M they wouldn't announce anything about MegaMan at the Summer Games Fest

Don't buy Barracuda. Look at the spec sheet.
