Describe the issue

Discussed in #3353

Opus streams with a channel count > 3 cannot be streamed correctly, since the channel count is always set to either 1 or 2 due to a RTSP limitation.

Did you attach the server logs?

no

Did you attach a network dump?

no

additional infos: multichannel Opus streams can be streamed with RTSP (and probably Chrome WebRTC) through a custom RTP format created by Google and documented here:

TODO

• Support multichannel Opus in RTSP (support multichannel Opus (https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/issues/3355) gortsplib#572)
• Support routing multichannel Opus between RTSP, SRT, HLS, UDP and recording in MPEG-TS and fMP4 (support routing multichannel Opus between RTSP, SRT, HLS, UDP and recording in MPEG-TS and fMP4 (#3355) #3368)
• Support multichannel Opus in WebRTC
