AFAIU, Tim only has one file so it doesn't apply here.

Tim, I'm not sure to understand what you really want from your 4 stereo
audio streams. I can't tell if you want to pick only some (then -map) or
actually merge the channels of each streams into one single audio stream
(then what you need is indeed the -map_channel feature).

The multiple files limitation could be bypassed with an audio merge
filter; a WIP was sent on the mailing list by Nicolas. We lack man-power,
and patches are always welcome when it is a feature request :)
