In practice, ffmpeg is currently already assuming a channel layout
that's not in the specification anyway.

I think the patch moves the default behaviour for 8 channel content much
closer to the realm of objectively sane.  I can't fathom anyone would
expect or desire the current behaviour when passing it 8 channel Vorbis
content.

Cheers,
