This is a much asked for feature, but I do not like the design you adopted.
I think your version is confusing two different tasks: merging the streams,
and mixing the channels with configurable coefficients. Thus, it only
satisfies the most basic needs.

I believe that it is better to separate both tasks: first merging a
n-channels streams and a p-channels streams into a stream with n+p channels,
and then mixing the channels together if necessary.

For the first task, I started some time ago a "amerge" filter. The work as I
left it is there:

I intend to start working on it again soon.

For the second task, the pan filter can do almost anything we may need from
it.
