Why do you think they should be? What
advantage would this give? Also, I don't
believe it is only 7 and 8 channel mappings
that are undefined in FLAC. I don't see
a mapping for *any* number of channels.
At the moment, the channel order/mapping on
output are the same as on input. This means
that you can use any mapping you feel is
appropriate. To see a list of mappings which
have been specified elsewhere, visit:
http://wiki.xiph.org/Channel_mapping_examples
Scroll down to near the bottom for 7.1 and 8.0
mappings.

Martin
