Even if your use case were justified, I'd still think the current behaviour should be preserved as a default. Regards, Marton

As is, the script needs to know which channels exist in which layout for every single layout and change the left and right channels. If you happen to give pan a channel that doesn't exist it'll fail instead of just ignoring it.

Furthermore, mixing from different channel layouts requires different coefficients, otherwise the volume will be too low. This use case seems too specific to be the default. Regards,

The hard part in the script is already done anyway so it's not like I was banking on this being merged anyway. Making a different codepath or a whole new filter just to do easy audio balance is way too much sand for my truck, so disregard the patch.
