Still occasional incorrect audio channel configuration/mapping on multichannel audio to HDMI (without pass-through)

  • A year ago, I reported here the problem that the audio channel mapping was incorrect.

    The problem has been "fixed" in 11.0.4. But only partially.

    In about 5% of the cases after a pause+resume or a seek, the audio channels are still shifted (center is on right front). I'm using a PI4 and using 11.0.6 but also did a test with 12.0.0 this week, which behaves identically.

    Even though this bug is not catastrophic as it can be worked-around be pause or seek, it is still annoying and it would be good to have it fixed.
