Dave, When do you plan to use it?

Joolz sent me his patch last month I have been added features since then . (format auto detection,  port selection, and card selection and fix few minor bugs in error case)
I have a couple thing I want to add before I submit it back is the sdi audio channel map and I would like to try to get the card to pass AC3 over the embedded audio if possible.

I thinking of doing the following
Add -sdi_audio_channel_map or -sdi_acm for short
The command would use a line of a string of hex character with a separator for the codec name
I am thinking of have 
a command like this -sdi_acm 012345 -sdi_acm 67 -sdi_acm 89 -sdi_acm AB -sdi_acm CD -sdi_acm EF

this would map :
channels 1-6 in respective order to ffmpeg input stream 1
channels 7-8 in respective order to ffmpeg input stream 2
channels 9-10 in respective order to ffmpeg input stream 4
channels 11-12 in respective order to ffmpeg input stream 5
channels 13-14 in respective order to ffmpeg input stream 5
channels 15-16 in respective order to ffmpeg input stream 6

As example if you need to swap two channel (left by the right)
you would just need to flip the numbers. -sdi_acm 012345 would become -sdi_acm 102345

if you don't want to use hex we could use actual channel number but we would need separator.

For non pcm embedded audio:
I could add codec for decode -sdi_acm 012345:PCM or  -sdi_acm 012345:AC3, this would default to PCM as it seems more common.
(assuming we can get a software autodetection mode) We could -sdi_acm 012345:auto  or make that the default.
Or we could use a separate command like -acodec for the codecs but I am not sure how that would behave with the indev as it's not a codec.
I am not sure any of the non-pcm audio would work with decklink cards. Is there anyone that tried that?
