Default Request for OGG Flac to support more than 8 channels

Currently, REAPER can only export FLAC at 8 channels. I need more than this because of the work I do, using 14+ microphones to record sound. OGG Flac is different than "Native" flac. OGG is a container that can contain more than 8 channels of flac.

How many channels does FLAC support?

FLAC supports from 1 to 8 channels per stream. Channels are only grouped in FLAC to take advantage of interchannel correlation and to define common channel assignments (like stereo L/R, 5.1 surround, et cetera). When encoding a large number of independent channels it is expected that they are coded separately and if required, multiplexed together in a suitable container like Ogg or Matroska.

IF you want to advance sample library technology, show some support for this feature. Drumkits use many mics, don't you want to be able to control all of them without having to use giant-sized wav files? FLAC needs to support more than 8 channels.

Sample library developers shouldn't have to split their multichannel files into multi-stereo/mono-channel files.
