The channel mapping seems to work.

The only issue I have now is that both Apple DVD Studio Pro and Adobe
Encore are reporting that AC-3 files encoded with FFmpeg are slightly
longer (about 1 frame at 23.976 fps) than files encoded with those
programs. Any idea why this would be? This causes sync problems with
long audio files.
