Return a channel layout and the number of channels based on the specified name.
This function is similar to av_get_channel_layout(), but can also parse unknown
channel layout specifications.
Unknown channel layout specifications are a decimal number and a capital 'C'
suffix, in order to not break compatibility with the lowercase 'c' suffix,
which is used for a guessed channel layout with the specified number of
channels.

Trying to make heads and tails out of DTS 6.1 I can across this typo.
I also noticed that this wiki page is incorrect or misleading, the
channel order for 6.1 given does not match the source code. At the
least it should be clarified that the layout given does not apply to
DTS. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/AudioChannelManipulation

FATE refs changed to accomodate for the new default behavior of the function.
Numbers are now interpreted as a channel layout, instead of a number of channels.
Return layout when FF_API_GET_CHANNEL_LAYOUT_COMPAT is set even if the
layout itself is not in the deprecated style.

The new syntax is preferred since it allows backward syntax compatibility
with libswr when switching to the new option handling code with
AV_OPT_TYPE_CHANNEL_LAYOUT.
With the new parser the string:
1234
is interpreted as a channel layout mask, rather than as a number of
channels, and thus it's compatible with the current way to set a channel
layout as an integer (e.g. for the icl and ocl options) making use of
integer option values.
ff_get_channel_layout() with compat=0 will be used in the
AV_OPT_TYPE_CHANNEL handler code.
The user is encouraged to switch to the new forward compatible syntax,
which requires to put a trailing "c" when specifying a layout as a number
of channels.
