[FFmpeg-user] Can FFmpeg change top-bottom smartphone balance? Example in link

[Dan Baker]

Dear FFmpeg Questions,

I haven't asked a question in a long time but OH my lord, this TikTok
changes the "balance" not left-right but top-bottom on my iPhone:

That's an instance, let me see if I can link the uninstantiated audio, the
abstract class of the TikTok if you wish:

Okay so here is metadata:

It is the song "Water Fountain" by Alec Benjamin.

How even - how do I introspect the audio of a TikTok?

And how did they make the sound come alternately from the earpiece and the
mouthpiece-edge?

The iPhone doesn't respect right-left channels in MP3 except with
headphones, I think. This iPhone sadly does NOT get audio files from any
laptops or desktops.

What kind of black magic is this?

Does FFmpeg have a filter or support a container format where the channels
can be "mouth" and "ear" instead of R, L, right surround, left surround,
center, and I don't know if 7.1 has standardized channel names? "Right
surround" might not even be standard, I've seen "right rear".

Any clues would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you,
