[vlc-devel] [PATCH 2/4] aout: keep the requested aout-mode across several inputs

[Thomas Guillem]

So, if the input is stereo we propose the traditional options, that are:

 - Mono (In order to share a headset with someone for example)
 - Left/Right
 - Stereo (Original)
 - Reverse Stereo

Then if the input is > stereo, we propose:
 - Direct (for OSes that can't setup passthrough)
 - Original (PCM)
 - Headphones (to use spatialaudio binauralizer)
 - Mono (because, we still want to have all input channels mixed into each speaker/hearplug)

Question:

Should we propose:
 - Stereo (for same reason than Mono)
 - 5.1 (if input is > 5.1)
