Patch will be checked into GIT. I read all of the email again and it seems to at least be limited to 32 in most cases, but I find that if you use Settings->Format, you can create more than 32 channels anyway as I set it to 36 and it did not complain.

This is confusing though, when I load:
http://www.gvgdevelopers.com/K2DevGuide/Clips2/NTSC_SD_DV25_colorbar.avi
into CinGG, it shows 16 audio tracks!, but ffprobe, mediainfo, and Resources window info/details shows 8!

may be someone (ffmpeg devs, mediainfo devs) also reasoned most files will be <=8 channels? Or may be file a bit corrupt ....? I once (recently) created audio file with 1024 channels ;) by means of coding error

I am not sure that consensus was, but I see even dvd can contain up to 7.1 audio, and even this mpeg multichannel encoder I just rediscovered had some support/experiments in this direction, in 1990s)
