well it matters because this flag is not stored per demuxer but codec
we only need a single case where the demuxer is more accurate for this to
break down
or to see it differntly, if demuxer information is inaccurate this is a demuxer
thing, its not a codec feature that the demuxer is wrong, its a codec feature
if this information is stored in the codec.

we could put the code in riff under !(capabilities & CODEC_CAP_CHANNEL_CONF)

that said i dont mind if we set things to 0 in av_find_stream_info() if it
works better but your implementation of that is too convoluted for my taste
