[FEATURE Idea]: Multichannel worth to have a look at?

Hi

Only ideas and questions.

LMS has the capability to sync multiple players and to divide LEFT and RIGHT to separate players.
Throught that it's possible to set up a stereo environment freely via IP.

- Would (really would) it be a "relatively cheap hack" to choose from more than 2 channels? (regarding the effort to implement)
- No need to think about receivers.
- On the consumer side a full blown HiRes Surround setup could be achieved with rel. little money by using Raspi Boxes.
- Demand? Only DSD? Only exhibitions/ installations/ art environments?

What do others think?
