Martin,

Are you sure you are looking for ITU-R BR./138/?

I've found ITU-R BR.1384-2 that starts with the same digits and deals with the same subject. Please see if it is this one, which has 4, 8 and 12 channels:

Part 1,

https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/br/R-REC-BR.1384-1-200504-S!!PDF-E.pdf <https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/br/R-REC-BR.1384-1-200504-S%21%21PDF-E.pdf>

is also available but it has been superseded by the former.

The channel order is defined through the
WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK vorbis comment, if defined. If
no WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK is present, the channel
order follows SMPTE/ITU-R recommendations, which are as follows:
This looks like an excellent proposal.
I tried to find the specific SMPTE/ITU-R
recommendation on channel order.  I found a
reference to "ITU-R BR.138", but this is not
available from the ITU-R Recommendations
website.  Does anybody have a copy of this?

I found lots of places which state the
SMPTE/ITU-R recommendation on channel
order.  But all these are only for 5.1, and
are the usual front left, front right, front center,
LFE, surround left, surround right.  I therefore
suspect the SMPTE/ITU-R recommendation is
only for 5.1.

With this in mind, I now propose the following
wording in the FLAC spec:
0000-0111 : (number of independent channels)-1. The channel assignment
and order is defined through the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK
FLAC tag. If no WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK is present, the
channel assignment and order follow SMPTE/ITU-R recommendations (where
defined) and are as follows:

Martin
