--channel-map=CHANNELMAP
Explicitly choose a channel map when playing back this stream. The argument should be a comma separated list of channel names:

side-left, side-right, top-center, top-front-center, top-front-left, top-front-right, top-rear-left, top-rear-right, top-rear-cen-
ter, or any of the 32 auxiliary channel names aux0 to aux31.
LIMITATIONS
Due to a limitation in libsndfile paplay currently does not always set the correct channel mapping for playback of multichannel (i.e. sur-
round) audio files, even if the channel mapping information is available in the audio file.
