DirectCsound implements 'fout' opcode that can output an audio file of
any number of channels (it is now limited to 800 (!) but can be
increased by means of a recompilation of the sources). Next DirectCsound
version will implement 'fin', that can read audio files with any number
of channels (the complement of 'fout'). DirectCsound is a Windows
version, but these opcodes can be implemented in all platform (if jpff
agree).
