Excellent. :-)

No matter how you count, ffmpeg's stream specifiers begin counting at
zero. As you did not define anything for -c:a:0 (you always begin with
:1), ffmpeg chose a default, which is different from yours. (ffmpeg
interestingly didn't complain about -c:a:8 which remains unused.)

So you either need to add:
  -c:a:0 pcm_s24le -b:a:0 1152k -ar:0 48000
or, even better, since the audio codec details are the same for all
your eight streams, just do this instead of specifying it eigtht times:
  -c:a pcm_s24le -b:a 1152k -ar 48000

Cheers,
