Comment (by Cigaes):

 Using {{{-ac}}} does not ''drop'' channels, it ''remixes'' them. The
 remixing code can only work if it knows what channel is what: you do not
 mix side-left and side-right the same way than lower-rear-center and
 upper-rear-center.

 Furthermore, I believe that ''dropping'' channels is already supported
 with the {{{-map_channel}}} option.
