Summary

SND_MULTICHANNEL is always defined, so SND_CHN_MAX will also always be

  1. Apart from the fact that there is no other place in the code that

touches SND_MULTICHANNEL, there is also no good reason nowadays to set
SND_CHN_MAX to 2.

You are right. I only didn't write one because I thought it is fairly obvious in this case. SND_MULTICHANNEL is defined in the file above, so this condition is always true since there is no undef for it in the code.

That being said, perhaps no-op is not a good word for this.
