Wav Extensible Format Channel Mask

Hi, in Wav Extensible format struct, there is dwChannelMask to ensure correct channel layouts for multichannels wav.

Looks like this variable is handled by the following function in wavlike.c in libsndfile-1.0.27: int wavlike_gen_channel_mask (const int *chan_map, int channels) ;

Would like to know whether there is any plan to support this function in PySoundFile?

Thanks.

There is currently no plan to support this. For my personal taste, I would like to focus PySoundFile on being a module for reading audio files first, and leave the fact that it is implemented using libsndfile as an implementation detail.

However, I'd be happy to merge a pull request if you were to contribute some non-intrusive way of setting the channel map.

I could try to work something out, however it might take some time. Will keep you posted on this. Thanks.
