You're right, this is indeed the order in which the channels are 
presented in the sample.

I've already found out why one channel is played at such a low volume. 
It's because the center is played back through the subwoofer.

To play DTS 5.1 sound correctly I have to remap the channels. Using the 
following option it works as intended:


-af channels=6:6:0:4:1:0:2:1:3:2:4:3:5:5


I wonder if it's just me that needs this remapping or if it is a general 
problem? If it is, maybe this remapping could be done automatically. It's 
annoying to have to do it for yet another codec besides AAC.
