8 linear digital sound/audio channels, multiplexed or not
Something sounds a bit odd here, I'm puzzled by this use of 'sons', where I'd have expected something like 'canaux audio'.
It may simply be 'intra-techie' jargon that I'm not familiar with, but I'd advocate a little circumspection here, just in case there is some hidden detail relating in some way to your wider context.

: The trouble is, since it is in fact 'multiplexés ou non', this word order is more awkward to implement in EN; also, the use of 'sounds' is odd — perhaps odder in EN than in FR, but odd all the same
