If you not specifiy the right mapping index by 'ac' parameter it will
default to zero. In your case '-ac 6' will overwrite '-ac 2'. Use '-
ac:1 2' and '-ac:2 6' and you will get what you expected. Please take
care of the different index numbers between 'ac' and '-b:a' for
example. It is related to the map paramter not to the related audio
output stream index. The '-ac:2 6' parameter can safely be deleted,
because the channel definition will be taken from the source stream.
For a better reading (and in some cases the order has an impact to
ffmpeg) you should order your parameter a little bit. Write all related
parameters together directly behind the corresponding '-map'. '-f'
parameter can be deleted as well, ouput file extension give the hint
for ffmpeg autodetection.

ffmpeg -i "${input}"
  -map 0:0 
     -c:v copy 
     -movflags +faststart
  -map 0:1 
     -c:a:0 aac 
     -b:a:0 192k 
     -ac:1 2 
     -metadata:s:a:0 title="AAC Stereo Audio" 
     -disposition:a:0 default 
  -map 0:1 
     -c:a:1 ac3 
     -ac:2 6 
     -metadata:s:a:1 title="AC3 5.1 Audio" 
  -map 0:1 
     -c:a:2 copy
  -f mp4
  "${output}.mp4"

I deleted '-disposition:a -default', because it will not work in this
way, IMHO

P.S.: It is untested!
