where did you hear that?
tell them that it is non-sense.

currently there is no hardware available that would offer such a number
of speakers. the best you get is MADI cards (64 channels each) - and
they work nicely with Pd.

we have a PC equipped with to MADI cards, which should give you 128
channels I/O, but i never tried it from Pd.
using both would involve merging the 2 cards into a single virtual card
using asoundrc.
