0 to 3 (based on the value in the table below).
Normally, each type of audio content is assigned to a particular channel and is always
output on that channel when present. There is one exception to this rule: rear center (RC)
content is switched from channel 5 to 7 whenever rear left (RL) content is simultaneously
present. To simplify this, RC content is thus treated as if it were two different types of
content: RC5 and RC7. When RL content is not present, RC content is output on channel
5 as RC5 content. When RL content is present, RC content is output on channel 7 as RC7
content.
Setting DAXA will automatically set DACA and XAUD :CA parameters to a corresponding
value (see table below). However, this method should not be used to gate channels.
Instead, DAXG should be used after all of the available channels have been selected.
Note: If DAXA is set to a value not found in the table above, then other parameters will not
be automatically set and an error will be generated if the format is loaded while this
condition exists.
