On second thought, maybe the early FF_SANE_NB_CHANNELS check should be 
removed from avcodec_open2() and av_channel_layout_check() used here for 
non AV_CODEC_CAP_CHANNEL_CONF decoders like you suggested above.
For the rest, whatever value is set is going to be ignored, overwritten, 
and then verified after the decoder was initialized.
