Best anyone can do (if you know you’re going to need P2 audio in Ae) is to make sure they plug in any off-camera mics to channel 1 on a P2 cam. Then their primary audio track will always be on ch 1 and will always be seen in Ae. Only way I can see to workaround for channels 2-4 for Ae is to load the clip into a Pr sequence, right-click (choose edit in Audition), then in Audition select the track of choice and export as .wav. Then the .mxf audio track of choice can be brought into Ae. Native MXF audio won’t import.
Sorry if you already knew all this. You didn’t want the bad news answer of “no.”

Subject: [AE] audio missing from mxf in AE
Tried this for the first time and noticed that while AE 10.0 will work natively with P2 MXF media, it appears to only import 1 of the 4 audio channels. Is there a different way to get AE to recognize the remaining channels?
Only good news please :-)
