We need support for fixed point down mixing also. Otherwise ffmpeg will
be to slow for embedded platforms. And I'm not so sure the generic
functions are flexible enough.  Can you do a

Left channel: Front Left + Surround Left + Center + LFE
Right channel: Front Right + Surround Right + Center + LFE

with this code ?
