 Are you sure about that?  The GS registers and
sound tools support 16 different channels ($0-F).
All current stereo cards route to either left or
right (odd/even, or even/odd...I don't remember :)
but I do recall some people having built stereo
cards that support all 16 channels (ie, they can
hook up 16 speakers and have a digitized sound
coming out of each!).  
 
Also, the GS does support 16 generators.
Unfortunately when you pair 30 & 31 the frequency is
really screwed (you need to compensate for it) so
Apple, in their infinite wisdom (no sarcasm!)
decided that "Thou shalt use the 15 generator for
timing purposes only.  PS, we reserve it."
