No, not the pixfmt mistake again. Set AV_CHAN_NONE to 0,
the rest can follow. Or keep AV_CHAN_NONE to -1
and add a new AV_CHAN_UNSPECIFIED as 0.


Care to elaborate on the reasons of this opinion? Using -1 as invalid
and 0...x as valid entries seems quite reasonable to me.


Zero-initialization. I've had issues in the past telling
YUV420P from <uninitialized>.

It is convenient to be able to set the channel layout mask by a simple byte shift of the ID-s.

AV_CH_FRONT_LEFT = 1 << AV_CHAN_FRONT_LEFT.

So I'd say that is the reason that it is designed that way, because this way existing channel layout masks can be kept without breaking ABI.
