Which, for 6 channels at least, is the same as the SMPTE-ITU-R order.
But the order defined by Microsoft seems to be more thorough, so it's
good to know that's the reference.

Now, when you say "internal," do you mean "completely transparent to the
API caller?"  Because I'm more inquiring about the order that is visible
to me as the user of the API (and specifically which layout goes into
and comes out of AAC and Vorbis codecs).

Thanks,
Jason.
