nit: Might be a good idea to add a comment that this decoder-only flag 
is being checked here even for encoders as it will be a no-op for those.

const char *codec_string = av_codec_is_encoder(codec) ? "Encoder" : 
"Decoder";
av_log(avctx, AV_LOG_ERROR, "%s requires channel layout to be set\n", 
codec_string);
