Agreed.  That is most flexible route if there is any chance of ending up
with more channel specific stuff in future.

There should also be some magic in here to rule out the input3 and input4
for the devices with only two channels. (lots of examples in tree)

Otherwise, in theory this could be an array I guess, but I'd also prefer
channel nodes.

My error in earlier review (not enough coffee that day I guess :)

Anyhow it does show that the tests weren't run which isn't a good thing to see.
