 Switching the channel layout from downmix to stereo using swresample fails
 since c56d4dab
 {{{
 $ ffmpeg -f s24le -ac 2 -i /dev/zero -t 1 -channel_layout DL+DR -acodec
 copy out.wav
 }}}
 {{{
 $ ffmpeg -i out.wav -channel_layout stereo out2.wav

 }}}
 Work-around is to force the input channel layout:
 {{{
 $ ffmpeg -channel_layout stereo -i out.wav out2.wav
 }}}
 Generally, this is an issue when extracting a downmix stream from a mov
 file to 24bit wav: The resulting wav file will not play in QT since QT
 doesn't like the wav channel layout "downmix".
