Default Input Count

Hello everybody,
I have a question regarding the number of simultaneously usable inputs of Carbon. According to AVID it is 25@48, 17@96 and 13@192 kHz. However, the hardware has 8 Mic pres, 8 Line ins and 2 ADAT light pipes, which would make a total of 32, 24 and 20 inputs respectively, not counting the talk back mic.
So, 1) does anyone know, why the total no. of inputs is lower and 2) which combinations of inputs are possible? In particular: Can the mic and line inputs be used simultaneously or just alternatively? I hope the former but fear the latter.
I am currently working with an Antelope Studio Rev 2017 using 22 ins@96kHz (12 mic, 8 ADAT and 2 SPDIF ins) and consider switching, as I cannot use their PlugIns in this configuration, which makes its on-board DSPs obsolete. However, I need at least 20 inputs I can use at the same time.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Stefan
