Unfortunately, we can't change the PA_CHANNEL_MAX value. It affects the
size of the pa_channel_map and pa_cvolume structs, and applications
break if the size of those structs changes. If 32 channels is not
enough, some other approach is needed. Without knowing the details of
your problem I'm not able to suggest anything. Adding new APIs that
support 64 channels would be one possibility, but that would require
quite a lot of work.
