That does not mean anything. The channel layout called 5.1 "exists" because the convention has made it the short name for "front left + front right + front center + rear left + rear right + subwoofer". It is just a convenient name. "16.0" does not "exist" because there is not, at this time, an audio configuration with 16 channels that is widely used. For the same reason, "8.0" does not "exist" because the only common configurations with 8 channels are the variants of 7.1, i.e. with a subwoofer. I have absolutely no idea what decklinks cards actually do, and in particular where they take their audio. If there is a layout that is way more common than anything else, then it makes sense to have it the default. Otherwise, it is better to leave the layout unspecified to avoid leaking false information in output files. Regards, -- Nicolas George
