While the Web Audio API itself (and Flocking) have support for devices with multiple inputs, the Web RTC implementations in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all seem to be limited to <= 2 channels.

Here's the Chrome bug for this issue. It's clear that many of the engineers working on Chrome don't even understand the basic use case, so it may be a long wait for this feature.
