 When using ffmpeg -i input -f alsa, the channel order is typically wrong
 for >2 channels.
 Alsa expects 5.1 in the order: front left - front right - surround left -
 surround right - centre - lfe, FFmpeg's internal channel order is front
 left - front right - centre - lfe - surround left - surround right (for
 7.1, back channels are last in both cases).

 The order is correct for AV_CH_LAYOUT_QUAD, for AV_CH_LAYOUT_4POINT0
 (Edward.Scissorhands.x264.DTS-4.0-48_24.mkv), it would be necessary to
 expand output to (at least) five channels.
