For C++ compat you could use some constructor magic instead, and turn
these into proper constants. Hidden behind #ifdef __cplusplus of
course.

IMO having untyped #defines like this is mega ugly. At the very least
it should be (AVChannelLayout){...}. It's likely cargo culted from when
channel layouts were bitmasks.
