My AVR works just fine. But I was in need to convert a 4.1 (no centre) audio to something I can use. And ran into WAV peculiarities and software shortcoming.
In case you overthink instead of reading, I changed the player and not double checking some information.
The AAC standard 13818-7 allows for whatever channel combination and order. If one particular encoder does not like a particular configuration it's entirely its (encoder) fault.
In the case of 3.1 the standard does not allow it if the configuration is Left, Right, Centre and LFE the can only be one single channel, and this is the LFE. All others must be paired. The trick would be to allocate two channels (center left and cenjter right) to represent C (dual mono).
