The current driver only supports up to 16 channel capture, and not all of 
the captured channels correspond to physical inputs.  On some models 10 
channels could be captured.  If the driver were modified to support 32 or 64 
channel capture, the additional channels would capture the physical outputs, 
and you could route PCM channels to the rest.

I didn't implement support for capturing more than 16 channels yet because 
the mixer would become more confusing, and capturing physical outs is not as 
useful as capturing the inputs, you could do it easily with JACK anyway.
