Ability to use secondary audio tracks in the editor

Currently, Panopto only allows audio recording on the primary track. In our lecture capture, our faculty use a lavalier microphone. I monitor our captures and if they do not turn on the mic and they are in a room with ceiling mics, I remotely turn those on rather than have someone run to the room to remind them to wear and turn on the mic.

I record on Epiphan Pearl2s, which in their latest firmware (4.24.1) allows for audio recording on the secondary tracks. It would be great if in my recording, I could split my audio from the DSP in the classroom so that the lavalier goes to the primary track, but I can record the ceiling microphones to the secondary chalkboard shot. In the instance where no lav was turned on (or the batteries died) it would be great to be able to take the ceiling mic audio from the secondary track to use as a backup - and make my captures truly automated, rather than monitoring all captures at the start, that a creator or admin could switch audio tracks from the secondary to primary for playback.

I would also like the ability to upload an audio track without having to marry it to the primary track as well to replace poor audio or be able to do some outside tweaking of the existing track and restore it again.

Would this be of interest to other users?
