If you want to work on it, just update it to the latest Vorbis spec and
send it here.

I guess I just call it that because I don't like to say "Microsoft WAVE"
channel order. I'm referring to SMPTE 428M, which is a standard for
digital cinema channel mapping. They're essentially the same thing.
This is the channel order used internally by FFmpeg. So decoder output
should have the channels in this order, and encoders should expect input
with channels in this order.
You can refer to the channel definitions in avcodec.h to know what the
order of channels will be in the input to the encoder.
Thanks,
Justin
