Is there any way in Extendscript to tell which channel an audio TrackItem is?  For example if the given TrackItem is Channel 5 of its overall WAV in the source bin?

There's no reliably way to get that information.

 

A trackItem is created using the characteristics of its source projectItem, at a given time. So, even if when trackItem T was created the source audio was taken from channel 5 of the source projectItem, there's no way of knowing whether the state of the initial projectItem, or its interpretation/channel mapping, have changed, since that trackItem was created.
