[FFmpeg-user] issue with trim & pan filters

I ran into an issue with ffmpeg tonight where I could not trim a source
because of the audio channel configuration of the track I was pulling audio
from. The source has a track of 12 channels of audio. I can process the
first two channels in the track to a stereo output with the pan filter. If
I apply a trim to the input - the trim for input stream complains that it
cannot select the channel layout for the link between the filters trim and
the Parsed_pan_0. I have tried adding -guess_layout_max 0 before the input,
and have tried
setting aformat=channel_layouts=FC+FC+FC+FC+FC+FC+FC+FC+FC+FC+FC+FC without
success.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
