Mainly I am ok with this change. But it would be nice to have a
comment inlined here of why the number of channels is fixed and that
the platform is responsible for specifying the real number of channels
(it's basically what you described in the patch log).

Cai, what do you think about the patch? Is it suitable for you? Do you
have any idea of how to workaround the denoted problem without always
returning the maximum number of channels?
