My problem is that I'd like to make Pulseaudio handle 4-channel webcam microphones[2], but I'm not aware of any input device names for 4-channel devices. Are there such device names?
These device name are useful only for device types that are generic enough. Four-channel microphones aren't.
Hm, we have already surround51 or such specific one, so it's not too bad to have a definition for multi-channel mics. OTOH, surround51 & co were the possible cause of confusions, as there are way too many surround types. A generic type with the channels argument might be more generic?
In anyway, I think it's fine to define some new generic name.
Alright then, what should be the name? Here's one proposal: "4channelinput".
