Well, I was able to save aac 7.1 audio.  However, upon playback I get an 
information message that says:

Assuming an incorrectly encoded 7.1 channel layout instead of a 
spec-compliant 7.1(wide) layout, use -strict 1 to decode according to 
the specification instead.

I use:

avctx->std_strict_compliance = FF_COMPLIANCE_STRICT;

and it removes one of the info messages, but not all.  Anyway, it would 
be better if the messages were not produced at all.  I tried saving with 
a channel layout of AV_CH_LAYOUT_7POINT1_SIDE but it resulted in noise 
upon reproduction.
