I'd like to note that the removal of the iec958-surround-40 profile affected
other mics too, notably the Playstation 3 Eye which no longer works with
pulseaudio in recent Ubuntu distributions and which is affecting a lot of
people, including me.

I've seen similar reports for Arch Linux and Fedora.

This should not be a special-case profile, it should be in default.conf. There
are several 4-channel microphone arrays on the market usually packaged in
webcams. Just googling I find the following 4-channel mic array webcams at
bestbuy you can walk in and buy:
