Given that PA aims to be a desktop audio server catering for
the 'standard' formats such as stereo and 5.1, it really can't
be blamed for not knowing what to do with a card that presents
N (N >= 8) identical channels. And I'm somehow surprised if
users of such cards (who probably use Jack anyway) expect PA
to handle this OOTB. The obvious solution for them is to use
the PA<->Jack bridge which is reported to work well.
