Just to be clear, the current use case is NOT to capture multi-channel
audio like 7.1. It's just to capture all of the mono SDI channels into
one FFmpeg-internal audio stream and FFmpeg calls 8 channels "7.1".

As you already noticed, the audio mapping is far from standardized and
has to be adapted anyway in most use cases... having said that, I find
the option value "discrete" misleading. I would expect every channel to
be in a separate stream when reading that, but I'm not a native english
speaker. What about e.g. "bundled"?

Last but not least, I cannot find an update to the documentation in this
patch ;)
