Add support for open ephys version 0.6
Have you had exposure to open ephys version 0.6 yet? There appear to be some new file naming conventions, and interesting new corner cases, e.g. "CH{n}" name collisions! I've had to patch things over by parsing the "Continuous_Data.openephys" xml file, and then shimming that output to get consistent outcomes. I do hope there's an easier way that occurs to you!

@miketrumpis : do you have a dataset for dealing this problem ?
Apologies for the lack of transparency here, as this is not public data. I've shared a description of the problem in the fork I made. My intention was to PR, but I had to cut some corners for my particular use cases, which sacrificed some generalizability. Here is a description of the problem, highlighting the new path layout and variations on the XML structure that I'm using to decode the data streams.

Hi @miketrumpis, thanks for pointing to your custom fixes. However for a general fix it is essential to have a test dataset as reference. Do you know any public dataset in the new format or will you generate one in the future?
I think we fixed this recently, but if you test the current version and it is still not working please open a new issue with additional info (we now have a test file for new version and it seems to work so if it doesn't work for you we might need to tweak it a bit more).
