IMO there is no audio channel order in the audio data stream, just
audio channel positions. The order they come out is entirely dependent
on the decoder and how it (stupidly) interleaves them rather than
leaving them as separate per-channel streams. If you think it would be
useful to have something like a list of channel positions or a
positional layout tag, I'd be ok with it.

Hmm, >=1? why the > part? The only place it's possible to store the
index is the end, and repeating it there isn't very useful..
