any other programm can render 6 wav split for 5.1, but Relove after so many versions and never learned to do such a simple, but so strongly necessary function. I certainly understand that it's possible to convert Clip Info from 5.1 to 6 mono, and then in turn to render each channel in a separate wav.
But why then it was necessary to build FairLight in Resolve, then normally render 6 wav split through crazy crutches?

Once you have built in Resolve a serious tool for working with sound, then the renderer tool must match.
Is not it so difficult to add a simple option to output 6-7-8 split mono wav?

is there any hope that the release will add such a simple function?

Anybody knows Resolve 15B7 has a way to render 6 wavs split?
If Resolve can't render maybe add this in 15B8-15B9 ...
Now, even if you choose one wav per channel, you still render a wav file with 6 channels inside and terminate it after 2gb

This means it has poor wav exporter.
Export to MOV container and then split with ffmpeg:

These are all crutches and the loss of time, I do not understand why so many versions were released and a simple opportunity was not realized

Timeline > Bounce Mix to Track

Places Mono Broadcast Wave files (a single file for each channel of the Buss configuration, which follows user Buss naming convention) in the target directory, and on a dedicated Timeline Track.

Discussed on Page 1-93 of the Resolve 15 New Features Guide.

Yes, but you have to deal with what you have.
There are priorities and priorities and priorities and...... in development. For you this is important for 90% it's not important at all. Each of those 90% will have other thing which is important for him

and to add insult to the injury it was in before v14 and working very well

for reasons that are hard to understand timeline mapping was removed after v12.5 - end game was to destroy a very simple, clean and elegant workflow and replace it with this dog's breakfast of an error creating trainwreck

a simple, clean and elegant answer to a simple issue = don't use Resolve for mastering

a funny / sad case in point...
i graded a film
the filmmaker did the finishing
i sent him a DPX 4k seq,
the mix house sent him the 6xWAV
he added the mix, sub's and end roller
he used Resolve to master after reading instructions from this forum,
Amazon's Qc failed it for some audio channels missing, the only fail on the Qc report
the combnation of Resolve terriable audio mapping + bad advice here messed it up

if you follow the somewhat insane instructions here. check check and tripple check each master then check one more time

or use another software, every other pro level finishing software has working audio mapping, every single one and they work, as did Resolve 12.5 and before....

from Amazon's Qc;

Video assets: The mezzanine file contains one or more silent FRONT_LEFT, FRONT_RIGHT, or CENTER channels in the surround mix. Lack of dialog and music and effects tracks result in a bad customer experience. Please submit a new file.

i have restrained my self from saying "i told you so", but it's not easy......
