With the current mediakit design - no, it can't. (I presume you mean
one
output to many inputs..)
A consumer node receives buffers - which it must either pass to another
node, or "recycle". Most filtering/processing nodes will simply pass on
the buffer directly, rather than copying its contents - but in order to
send to an additional destination, the node needs to create an
additional buffer.
I have a working audio splitter node which does just that - I imagine
it
should be easy enough to adapt for other formats.
