A lot of devices implement extra channels with TDM rather than with
extra wires - you get all the left channels and all the right channels
grouped together (like with DSP/PCM modes except the channels are
ordered differently).  I'm never sure that's actually useful, though,
since it's not something that just works with most hosts that don't
understand it in hardware and most of those can do DSP/PCM anyway.
