I am interested in generating multichannel output files with Csound (i.e. 
> quad).
Is there a way of doing this with Csound?

I am thinking of 2 approaches; either have Csound create and write to
multiple 1 channel files e.g. filename01.aif, filename02.aif ...etc.
or a single multichannel file eg. with 16 or even 32 channels.
I know I can achieve the same thing with multiple pass compilations and a
lot of fiddling around, but I would prefer to just generate my samples and
distribute them over the channels in a single compilation.
What about:

amultiout chan, samp

I have a version of csound that generates 8 channel files. It runs on
SGI IRIX...

You already have quad output.  Due to the internal structure a
multiple output opcode as you seem to suggest is rather hard. There is
clearly a need/desire for 6 channels, but that is not an task to be
undertaken lightly.
