Notes: JUDGMENT CALL: 'Summing Mixer' is the closest fit in the allowed device_class taxonomy, but functionally this is a mastering-chain insert/patch switcher with an M-S encode/decode matrix and gain trim - not a traditional multi-source summing mixer, and not a full Recording Console. channel_count left blank since it is a routing matrix (3 stereo ins x 8 stereo insert loops) rather than a fixed channel count device - described fully in io_summary instead.
