How do I make a New Sequence From Clip with the same audio channels?

Well, I always want to import the audio tracks "from file" so that appears to be working correctly.

I tried making a new sequence, setting its audio channels, and then bringing my 12 channel video into that sequence but that still didn't work - when I drag the sequence into a timeline it comes in with tracks combined into one stereo track. Here are the settings I used to make the new sequence - I think the problem is I can't make 12 output assignments, they all default to channel 1-2:

I honestly can't believe how difficult this is. All I want is to make a sequence from a clip and have their audio settings match. I want to r-click on a clip with 12 mono channels, choose Make Sequence from Clip, then drag and drop that sequence into a timeline and have those 12 channels come in just like they do when I drag and drop the clip into the timeline. 

The audio tracks inside the squence are correct (when I step into the sequence everything looks correct), the problem is with how the Audio Channels appear when imported into other sequences. If I drag and drop the clip onto a timeline I get 8 tracks of audio and if I drag and drop the sequence made from the clip I get 2 tracks of audio. 

And when I r-click the clips and choose Modify > Audio Channels... I can change channels but I can't get the settings to match.

Channels from clip:

Channels from sequence after switch from Stereo to Mono and adding 8 tracks:

I want to set the sequence audio channels to be exactly like the clips becuase when I drag the clip to a timeline it puts down 8 differnt tracks of mono audio (dialogue, sfx, music, etc...) and when I drag the sequence to a timeline it puts down 8 identical track of mono audio (combined from all tracks in the sequence). 

What am I doing wrong?
