[RWP] Record inputs menu

[Patrick Perdue]

I have 32 inputs on one interface myself, although I'm used to, and 
would rather, work with channel numbers than friendly names. This is 
only my preference. I can see the utility for having both, especially 
when using things like aggregate devices, where names and  channel maps 
don't necessarily line up across multiple systems. I just recently ran 
into that when designing an audio distribution system for a museum for 
something like 30 Mac workstations.
