Have I understood this bug correctly:

* Previously, 4-mic arrays worked previously by luck (by using the "iec958"
alsa device, even though these arrays don't have anything to do with iec958).
* Now they don't work anymore, because the nonsense mapping
(iec958-surround-40) was removed.

Does someone already have a clear opinion about how to make the mic arrays work
again?

My impression is that alsa doesn't define any 4-channel input devices (can
somebody confirm?). This means that fixing this properly in Pulseaudio alone is
not possible. I guess we could try to use the "hw" device for now, even though
that will also only work with luck. That would still be better than using the
"iec958" device.
