I've extracted the six discrete channels and realised that MPlayer
uses the following ordering internally:

    FL, FR, SL, SR, FC, LFE

and, consequently, the following stereo downmix works great:

    mplayer in.wav -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:fast:file=out.wav
-channels 6 -af pan=2:1:0:0:1:1:0:0:1:0.707:0.707:1:1

I suppose the same will have to be used if the input was AC3 instead of DTS.

Those who fail to understand C++ are doomed to reimplement it. Better. [Jez]
