This is the right thing to do, but I am afraid this will break too many
existing filter chains. How can we implement this properly? Ideas/options:

- change it, break it, users will fix it
- add a guess_output_layout option which will be true for now, false after a
  major bump, and mention this incompatible change in the next release
- add amerge2 filter, deprecate amerge filter

do you have an example of a filter chain it would break ?

I do not like the option or the amerge2 solution, because that leaves
traces we can not get rid of.

My gut feeling wants me to say: there already was a warning, people who
ignore warnings deserve what they get. If you want to be extra careful
and are not in a hurry, you could reword the warning to notify that it
will change soon, wait some time (next release) and do the change.

I think the warning needs to be reworded anyway.

Michael: this is an example of filter graph that breaks: the output was
"stereo", it becomes "2 channels". Since there are
av_get_default_channel_layout() all over the place anyway, I think
something else would have caught it and hidden the difference for all
practical purposes.
