If I understand it right, the ALSA channel sequence is defined in
speaker-test as:
static const char *channel_name[MAX_CHANNELS] = {
/* 0 */ N_("Front Left"),
/* 1 */ N_("Front Right"),
/* 2 */ N_("Rear Left"),
/* 3 */ N_("Rear Right"),
/* 4 */ N_("Center"), /* wav file is "Front Center.wav" */
/* 5 */ N_("LFE"), /* wav file is "Rear Center.wav" */
/* 6 */ N_("Side Left"),
/* 7 */ N_("Side Right"),
Whereas the HDMI channel mapping selected for 6-channel playback is
{ .ca_index = 0x0b, .speakers = { 0, 0, RR, RL, FC, LFE, FR, FL } },
Here the two mappings disagree on channels other than Front Left/Right.
In theory the channel mapping should be adjusted via AC_VERB_SET_HDMI_CHAN_SLOT.
However I found that verb takes no effect for G35/G45. So I'm afraid
there's no trivial ways we can adjust the channel mapping.
