[MPlayer-users] [BUG] Wrong audio channel mapping when playing WMV3/WMVHD files

[Frank Aurich]

Hello,

When playing some (most) of the WMV-HD files provided at 
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/musicandvideo/hdvideo/contentshowcase.aspx,
Mplayer doesn't get the channel order of the 6ch audio right.
The voice track is mapped to rear left (I wasn't able to figure out the mapping 
of the other channels).

I tested these samples:

This file was particularily interesting: When playing in Mplayer, I heard a 
french voice from rear left.
When using Media Player Classic, an English person spoke from the center. 
AFAICT, the video has only one audio track.
