[PROBLEM] Multichannel audio issue

[Tim Curtis]

Tim, the test file I included in a link a couple of messages before, did it work for you? For me it was totally messed up too.

I'll try to test in the coming days but if its failing in your test it won't really matter what my result is because channel mapping happens somewhere in software layers that only the Pi Linux devs can analyze. They need to see an issue posted with test files and details about the config used to play the file.

Ideally the playback config should be one that they can easily create for example:

- Fresh RaspiOS Lite
- MPD
- /etc/mpd.conf that specifies outputting to ALSA using plughw: or hw:

The easier you make it for devs the higher the likelyhood they will act on the issue and come up with a solution. 

If I had the time I'd whip something up but my plate is already overflowing :-0
