That's basically it. See attached. Too lazy to format correctly and
properly send to the correct list right now, with comments. Might do so
later.

No, my comment regarding backward compatibility was based on something
else. Doc can be fixed to reflect current behavior, period. Attached.

If you ask me: Separate thread. ;-)

 For example, if you want to down-mix from stereo to mono, but with a bigger

 For example, if you have a 5.1 source and want a stereo audio stream by
 dropping the extra channels:
 @example
-pan="stereo: c0=FL : c1=FR"
+pan="stereo | c0=FL | c1=FR"
 @end example
 
 Given the same source, you can also switch front left and front right channels
 and keep the input channel layout:
 @example
-pan="5.1: c0=c1 : c1=c0 : c2=c2 : c3=c3 : c4=c4 : c5=c5"
+pan="5.1 | c0=c1 | c1=c0 | c2=c2 | c3=c3 | c4=c4 | c5=c5"
 @end example
 
 If the input is a stereo audio stream, you can mute the front left channel (and
 still keep the stereo channel layout) with:
 @example
-pan="stereo:c1=c1"
+pan="stereo|c1=c1"
 @end example
 
 Still with a stereo audio stream input, you can copy the right channel in both
 front left and right:
 @example
-pan="stereo: c0=FR : c1=FR"
+pan="stereo | c0=FR | c1=FR"
