[FFmpeg-user] How to avoid channel layout guessing

I'm trying to transcode an AVI file with HuffYuv video stream and PCM audio
stream into a FFV1/PCM output file using the following command:

$ ffmpeg -i ffmpeg-huffyuv.avi -codec:v ffv1 -codec:a copy -y \
ffmpeg-ffv1.avi

The audio stream of the input file has a channel count of 2 and an unset
channel layout (channel mask field of the strf-chunk is 0x0). Unfortunately
after the video file has been transcoded the channel mask is updated to 0x3.

I have tried forcing an empty channel mask by adding '-channel_layout 0x0'
or '-filter:a aformat=channel_layouts=0x0' but this does not work.

Is there any option to avoid/override the automatic channel layout guessing?

Regards,
Tobias
