Record from specific microphone channel

I did not find a way to record Microphone input from a specific channel (e.g. left/right of this audio interface).

Microphone.Start seems limited in this regard.

Further, I found this thread , which says

Yes, you can assume the microphone at runtime will always be 1 channel.

Is it possible to record different microphone channels into different AudioClips?
Any workaround to get this working?

I guess one has to write a custom plug-in for PortAudio or a similar cross-platform audio library.
