Thanks: my main problem was the multichannel structure, not the conversion itself. Reading the manual as you suggest, I did: $ pacat --record -d alsa_input.usb-BEHRINGER_UMC404HD_192k-00.analog-surround-40 --channels=4 --channel-map=aux0,aux1,aux2,aux3 --file-format=wav dump.wav and pacat performs the record but complains: Warning: failed to write channel map to file. and in fact the resulting file seems not to be as accurate as the one I get creating first the raw file and then converting it to wav via sox.
