But surely it wouldn't be rocket science to have a feature that recognises the gaps and automatically applies silence Quite correct. It is very easy to do that. A "Noise Gate" can do that. Unfortunately, speech that is processed in that way sounds weird and unsettling. Words ... become .....

Sorry, no reference. Apple is secretive about anything and they usually don't send out detailed reports about what's been fixed or what is going to be fixed. A new thing is that they are sending out details for security fixes. That's a relief. But for something as simple as a USB fix, it will just ...

Unfortunately Audacity does not have "channel mapping" for input channels, so "input 1" of the audio device always goes to the first input channel in Audacity, "input 2" to the second, and so on. To record inputs 7 and 8 you will need to either: 1) Use software to remap...
