Hi,
I didn't test the patch, but the introduction of one more *channel 
parameter seems
overly confusing to me.
At the moment -channels identifies the number of channels output by the 
decoder,
not the number of audio out channels; the problem is that it's not (or 
wasn't)
well explained in the man page.
When you make this point clear the current situation is not so bad.

I'm not sure that with your patch applied things will improve.
