I don't think a single home pod claims to produce separate channels. Looking at their animation it distributes ambient sound throughout (I assume the stuff through the mid-range woofer) and focuses the highs into the center of the room (through constructive/destructive interference between the 7 tweeters I guess). Not arguing it's a good or bad speaker. Haven't heard it and already have a nice speaker setup in my LR. Would be nice if the homepod had a sub out.
