Regarding this, I submitted another patch a year ago that doesn't skip devices with more channels than supported, but only exposes as many channels as supported by PulseAudio. I guess it would be beneficial to decide how to proceed on that front: either drop devices with an unsupported number of channels completely, or restrict the channels so that PA can still handle the device (and leave the other channels "empty")? My original idea of still using the device might not make most sense or be ideal, but I felt that completely dropping it would be weird as well. What's your take?
