I do not believe it is weird at all. I think that live direct perception is by nature NOT channeled into substreams of different sensory lines a priori.
The subdivision into separate "media" is a complex process imposed on the being by the brain. Without that, perception tends to be 360-degree, all-spectrum, instantaneous appreciation of what is on all frequencies at once. But many folks aren't up to handling that sort of raw feed and they filter it down, an exercise for which the body's channels serve quite nicely.
Kinda like a wide-spectrum equalizer, it cuts out all but the acceptable parts. (The dumbing down of souls is a terrible waste!) :>)
