As for surround channel definitions, I think I agree with you. But we
would need to change how we write the WAVE channel mask. Currently our
channel_layout values try to mirror what is supposed to be used in
WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE dwChannelMask. Having generic "surround" channels
would mean that we have to map to different WAVE masks based on both the
channel_layout and codec_id. That's fine with me though. It's saner I
think, and it also would be more like what Apple does in CoreAudio.
