 I have already explained it above.

 Since FLAC 1.1.3 (27-Nov-2006) (read the changelog, above) FLAC supports
 all the channel layouts that are not supported by default using the
 WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK tag.

 This means, the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK tag should be read if it
 exists to get the correct channel positions.

 Without reading this tag, the 3/1 channels (3 front 1 back) is played back
 as 2/2 (2 front 2 back), which is wrong.
