Check out That Crops. Design Notes on studio grade audio:

The PCB footprint does not have to represent the device physically.

If you were planing on wiring to vias anyway, make a footprint with
pins (holes) instead.
Simple row of holes as a footprint for a complex round tube socket is just fine.
Put your wires there rather that vias.
