Can you recommend a commandline player that lets me dump it by channel? Doesn't the Speccy only have one channel anyway?

Never used it, but http://ldesoras.free.fr/prod.html#src_ay3hacking has some promising links.
The original 16K / 48K Speccies only have a 1 bit beeper, but the 128K models all have an AY-3-8912 sound chip.

I think MultiDumper already supports .ay files. I don.t see any .vtx info on the linked page...

Sorry, no clue as to what MultiDumper can, could or should do. I thought you were looking for something to capture AY playback with separate channels.

I thought VTX was a tracker format, so is a layer above .AY files, but it seems it is just a sort of container for a YM3 data packet (which is like an .AY file).

I guess https://bulba.untergrund.net/emulator_e.htm is possibly the most flexible player but it has no ability to save WAV files. Even this seems to be very old... so I don't see much hope of adding support I'm afraid.
