Hm, we have already surround51 or such specific one, so it's not too
bad to have a definition for multi-channel mics. OTOH, surround51 &
co were the possible cause of confusions, as there are way too many
surround types. A generic type with the channels argument might be
more generic?
In anyway, I think it's fine to define some new generic name.
