Bug Report Soundflower 64ch not working with OBS

[Zaphod Zoidberg]

I think I've found a bug. I want to seperate my audio when I stream, so I have game audio going through Soundflower ch2 and music (directly from VLC) through Soundflower ch64. Everything is ok with Soundflower ch2, but ch64 just doesn't record anything on OBS. I chan however record ch64 with quicktime, so it must be an issue with OBS. I've included my log file just in case.

Edit: Had a quick look at my log, seems to be this error:
"[coreaudio_init_format]:[device 'Soundflower (64ch)'] unknown speaker layout: 64 channels"
And I don't even need 64 channels....

Any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Well, that's certainly new. I hadn't actually tested the 64ch soundflower. I'll have to investigate. There's most likely not a way for you personally to fix it yourself, it's more of a code issue that we have to investigate. You might have to hold off on trying to do it for the time being.

Well I've had a quick look at the code in mac-audio.c (with my very basic programming skills). Seems like it marks every audio device with more than 8 channels as unknown. Why do we ever want more than 2 channels anyway? So why don't we just ignore all the channels except the two first ones or just prompt the user which two channels he wants to use?
