Sorry cannot help as cannot build your code; but I notice you do not check 
retu value of csound->CompileCcd which should indicate an error so this 
field will still  be at defalt value

I don’t think it’s possible because the error might happen before nchnls is set.

Not so; it parses te orc completely before actig on it so as not to 
mislead

Return values should be checked.

The orchestra is parsed, if there is an error, it fails there and will not compile. 
The setting of nchnls is done in the compilation stage.
