Either that, or the field is removed. The opaque field is more than 
enough for your usecase. lavfi can and should use it to do everything 
you need.
Alternative, you can, at any time, extend this API yourself to cover all 
kinds of crazy musical instrumental scenarios. Create a new layout order 
and go nuts. But I'm not going to overdesign this API or its helpers 
just because you want less code in lavfi.

There are real world files and real world scenarios waiting for this API 
to land, unlike front center pianos and clarinets wishing they could 
skip one entry in your -filter_complex line, so it's not an excuse to 
delay it any longer.
