possible fix

Possible fix. Can't test it here, so would appreciate feedback.

There is a policy question involved here; basically, the question is: how do we
want input with N channels and no channel layout to be represented, given our
current policy that all caps with more than 2 channels must contain a channel
layout as well? This patch just adds a layout with all channels being set to
FRONT_MONO (which could be some new UNDEFINED enum or something as well).
Theoretically, it would also be an option to provide all channels on separate
pads in this case, with one channel each (makes implementation a lot more
awkward though for very little benefit IMHO). Or we could just not attach any
layout at all, but that seems a bit inconsistent to me.
