iiuc, they can be set on different places in the code, one is the parser, and
layout should be set in the decoder.

For samples that contain both a LFE and LFE2 or both a "Ts" and a "Cvh" channel
(whatever they may be).

Thank you for explaining!
I believe we should really ask for such samples so imo, this (unintended) change
is very welcome;-)

I will commit my change, it can still be reverted if a better solution is found.

Thank you, Carl Eugen
