5.1 Content on 7.1 speakers should use Side not Back speakers.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe the issue you're having:
When playing 5.1 Dolby / DTS or HD codecs on a 7.1 system, 5.1 audio files are 
played back using the Back speakers. All official decoders such as PowerDVD and 
hardware AV receivers play back using the Side speakers instead of Back.

How can the issue be reproduced? Sample File?
Play back and 5.1 content on a 7.1 system

What version of the product are you using? In which Player?
v0.63 in MPC-HC

Please provide any additional information below.

In the majority of cases the player or audio renderer actually controls this 
behavior.

But in the Status tab of LAV Filters, the channel output bars show BL and BR 
instead of SL and SR for 5.1 content. Does this mean the codec is instructing 
the renderer to use BL and BR?
