I think downmix channels are part of the RF64 specification, see EBU 
Tech 3306 section 3.1:

"""
3.1 Enhancement for a PCM stereo down mix

No PCM stereo signal is included in the basic Wave Format Extensible.

To include a stereo channel the following is added:

#define SPEAKER_STEREO_LEFT    0x20000000
#define SPEAKER_STEREO_RIGHT    0x40000000
"""
