Well I tested this and it definitely works!

Essentially it all boils down to using the -L switch.
Indeed the mapping is fixed (chan 1 -> output 1) and will wrap around if 
you have N < 16 (e.g. with 10 audio outputs chan 11 will start again on 
output l_00 / r_00), but I guess one can live with that once you know 
the logic.

Thanks again Tito for the detailed explanations and great tip ;)

Lorenzo.
