which helpfile?

my version of Bus.help says

Bus.audio( server, numChannels );
	Allocate an audio bus on the server. 
	Defaults: default server, 1 channel.

but doesn't get any more specific.

but that makes a lot of sense, thanks.

it's still a little strange, since e.g.

b = Bus.control(s, 4).index.postln

only gives the starting index.

maybe an extra line of text in the Bus.help file would make this a little
easier to figure out the first time.
