>From an example on the mplayer man page I gather that negative numbers are
also supported.  The following is the fixed version of a downmix from the
mplayer man page:

-af pan=2:1:.39:.6:.6:.39:.17:-.17:-.17:.17:.32:.32:.33:.33

(Fixed so that the order is: FL, FR, SL, SR, FC, LFE.)

I also use the pan filter to test 6 channel audio encodings on a stereo system.
