Currently we have no API definition to give the channel assignment.
In most (should be all) drivers, we use the assignment
	Front L, Front R, Rear L, Rear R, Center, LFE, Side L, Side R

If the hardware doesn't follow this, we do the channel re-routing in
alsa-lib plugin.

It's in my planning to add some information for the channel order, but
still it's not implemented in the real form.
