Yeah, I think that is how I use all 4 inputs right now.

I wonder if this changes if you compile against 11.x SDK, since they 
changed how the duplex mode is set up.

Probably this can be worked around from software, so ffmpeg could be smart 
enough to enable half duplex mode even if the specified input is the 
"slave" connector.

In any case, there is also the option of specifying the default duplex 
mode (and saving it) with the control panel application, or its linux 
counterpart. I believe in that case the duplex mode should simply work, 
because that becomes the default mode...
