This has a similar background as #733444

This patch is important for the following use cases:

1) File to file processing: since playback is irrelevant, the channel mapping
is not important.

2) input of many channels, which are in a second step (another plug-in)
rendered to the existing loudspeaker set-up. This is what happens for example
in MPEG-H, the new standard for 3D audio.

3) In the professional market, you really want to play let's say 22 channels,
but then you have the hardware and the know-how to route each channel to the
required audio output.
