The general syntax is ``channel(.subchannel)*(:capacity(:key(=value)?)*)?,...``. Intermediate subchannels which are not configured explicitly are autocreated with an unlimited capacity (except the root channel which if not configured gets a default capacity of 1). A delay in seconds between jobs can be set at the channel level with the ``throttle`` key. Example ``ODOO_QUEUE_JOB_CHANNELS``: * ``root:4``: allow up to 4 concurrent jobs in the root channel. * ``root:4,root.sub:2``: allow up to 4 concurrent jobs in the root channel and up to 2 concurrent jobs in the channel named ``root.sub``. * ``sub:2``: the same. * ``root:4:throttle=2``: wait at least 2 seconds before starting the next job
