Sorry I was abit unclear. DTS defines alot of mixing configurations. If 
you have a strange channel layout you should still be able to mix into 
that configuration and that needs the possibility to request that 
specific layout instead of just one. But this might belong to the mixing 
support. I guess it can be omitted for now.
