Summary0000302: Auto setting the number of channels
Description

I would like to have an option so the audio channels in the DCP are set automatically to the channel number (or max. channel number) of the source video.

e.g. if the source has only 2 channels, the value for the DCP should also be 2.

Hi Markus, we could do that; the only downside is that some servers don't like playing DCPs with fewer than 6 channels, so defaulting to 6 is a "safe" option with little cost... is there any particular reason why you want to keep the channel counts down?

I dont want to keep it down. I want it to match the input.
Btw. I think nowadays all server can play 1-16 chanels.

I think the current behaviour, to always have 16 channels, is a bit excessive. A good compromise is to only have 16 channels if audio (or control info) is present on any of channels 9-16, and otherwise 8 channels. Unused channels filled with silence of course.
