NVIDIA HDMI codecs do not seem to follow the Audio Sample Packet (ASP)
channel mapping (as set by verb F32h per HDA specification 7.3.3.41)
when playing back 2-channel audio (CEA CA 0x00).
Basically this means that specifying swapped channels for stereo audio
(FR,FL) does not take effect, and e.g. this command plays back on the
wrong channel:
speaker-test -c2 -Dhdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 -m FR,FL -s1
Multichannel audio is not affected.
This issue has been confirmed to exist on codec 0x10de0015 by me and on
0x10de0040 by Juho Teperi.
Disable 2ch FL/FR channel swapping on all NVIDIA HDMI codecs that use
the standard HDA channel mapping system. Since this is a very minor
functionality loss, we err on the side of disabling it for newer codecs
as well until any future testing confirms that this issue has been
fixed.
