I think the problem I'll run into is the 128 channel case. I'm hoping for a general solution... I'm almost positive this will require runtime checks. Your solution is what I was thinking for functions requiring exactly N channels (I'm not sure if there are many functions like that).

How well would the storablevector package (Data.StorableVector) work for
storing audio data? One of the major issues I'm still working over is that I want to maintain something similar to a [[a]] format (since the underlying PortAudio library and hardware could support hundreds of interleaved channels) but I would like to be able to build in some typechecking to the functions to make sure the number of channels matches the nubmer expected in the functions.
With data Stereo a = Stereo !a !a
you could also use Stereo (Stereo a) for quadrophony and so on. Would this be convenient enough?
StorableVector stores everything of fixed length for which a Storable instance is defined.
