On our mixing desk we can assign whatever channels we like to each of 
the eight busses, so this isn't a problem. But failing that, you 
could always re-patch...

Seriously though, ALSA is the way to go for multichannel. The only 
reason we use OSS emulation is that Audacity doesn't support ALSA 
natively yet, and Ardour isn't available to us mere end users.

Cheers!
