Currently the Multichannel-Audio-Code is built around the original limitation of the inter* elements, which could only carry 2 channels. Therefore we have all Elements working with audio configured for 2 channels and multiple times (audiostreams-times).
Since we no longer rely on them, we can simplify the Multichannel-Audio-Code so that after the Sources, all Pipeline-Elements use a single Stream of n channels. The Sources would then have the obligation to map their input-format to these n channels.
