For 2 channels I think the VCO-solution as suggested by

is better and cheaper than the time-multiplexer.
An additional advantage is, that the opto-isolator (discrete IR-emitter and
photodiode or transistor ) does not need linearization, because
the information is primarily encoded in the frequency and not in the magnitude
of the signal.
Decoding the signal in software could be done with two PLL algorithm instances
("VCO"-oscillator, phase-detector, servo circuit with low-pass).

Joerg
