Summary0006918: Strict I/O forces midi track to have two audio channels
DescriptionEven if there is no audio producing plugin (instrument) on a midi track, the "Strict I/O" mode enforces the presence of two audio outputs which won't ever output any data. These channels are visible only in the "Out" metering point, not in the "Post" one.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a midi track without an instrument, and activate "Strict I/O". Watch the three outputs, including two audio ones (non-removable while in Strict I/O which is normal).

An other idea to fix this would be to only ensure as many outs as there are inputs in the connected bus. But this falls short because

a) There could be several connected bus, not all with the same number of inputs and not all "filled"
b) It is akward to have the number of channels change depending on what is connected to the strip (especially when editing connections with the routing grid)
