If I have the math right, the maximum number of total channels on a device in a given direction is 2^64. You get this by the fact that the HAL allows for a device to have up to 2^32 streams each of which can have 2^32 interleaved channels. (These are the limitations of the AudioBufferList structure.)

Now, you might say that no device will ever have that many channels, but you'd be wise to write your code as if it could happen.

Folks.

Does anyone know the coreaudio device with the largest number of input channels ?

So far, I have found the MOTU 896HD, which registers 20 input channels.

Does anyone know of any devices with more than 20 input channels ?

I am doing some GUI design and it would be nice to know the max channels currently available for a single core audio input device.

Thanks

Mark Gilbert.
