This and the next conversion mute the side speakers, while the two in the next patch replicate the front speakers into them. I think we should be consistent one way or another unless there is a good reason not to. Ideally this should be checked on Windows, or at least it should replicate what pipewire / pulseaudio / ffmpeg / some other commonly used sound demuxer does. The difference between this and the other patch is that here you have actual front and rear speakers. Using any of them for the side channels would require a blend at best, so keeping them muted just downgrades you to a quad or 5.1 setup.
The next patch uses front speakers as you only have a single channel to replicate across the left and right sides. Everything remains stereo or mono. I'll check what dsound produces on Windows and if my intuition here is correct. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/11154#note_143225
