You don't need multiple cards to record multiple audio PIDS ;-)

I assume you are using the default channels.conf and haven't adapted
the 'Ca' parameter of the encrypted channels to your setup. This parameter
needs to be the number of the card that can decrypt this channel. if you have
one crad, it needs to be '1'. My system has three cards, therefore my default
channels.conf has Ca=3.
