We have seen several times that some format doesn't behave correctly with some hardware or software players; given that the basic factor is that a 5.1 file does always works with digital players, there is somewhere a program that can
1) scan a mch flac files library
2) analyze what kind of channel map the files does have (4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1)
3) run a remix of the file adding the correct channel(s) in order to have the correctly-handled 5.1 files with the one or two silent channels added
4) save a log of what has been changed and what not
Possibily with a cue-sheet input and output, as many does use.
Think MMH is close to this task but not complete for it. Probably Sox can do that but i can't figure it out how to pass the arguments about the original channels situation - says if files = 4.0 goto here, files = 4.1 goto there and so on.
