Oggenc supports n-channel wav files, if you can create them (note: as far
as I know, this has never been tested for n > 2. I've never tested it, but
it should work).

However, I doubt any of the widely used players support multichannel output.

Also, there is no way (yet) of specifying what each track is. That's
something that is needed, but nobody has done it yet. For a specific
purpose, however, you could just give your own definition of what each
channel does, and write a custom player for that.
