I2S _can_ support more than two channels, but only if you wire up more

two channel audio.

A lot of devices implement extra channels with TDM rather than with
extra wires - you get all the left channels and all the right channels
grouped together (like with DSP/PCM modes except the channels are
ordered differently).  I'm never sure that's actually useful, though,
since it's not something that just works with most hosts that don't
understand it in hardware and most of those can do DSP/PCM anyway.

True, I didn't mention TDM modes squeezing multiple channels into one
L/R frame. Neither Dove nor TDA998x support this, but thanks for the
clarification.
