ffmpeg -i stereo.wav -map 0:0 -map 0:0 -map_channel 0.0.0:0.0 -map_channel 0.0.1:0.1 -y out.ogg
@end example
Note that "-map_channel" is currently limited to the scope of one input for
each output; you can't for example use it to pick multiple input audio files
and mix them into one single output.
Note that currently each output stream can only contain channels from a single
input stream; you can't for example use "-map_channel" to pick multiple input
audio channels contained in different streams (from the same or different files)
and merge them into a single output stream. It is therefore not currently
possible, for example, to turn two separate mono streams into a single stereo
stream. However spliting a stereo stream into two single channel mono streams
is possible.
