The very old behaviour of -channel_layout was to simply warn the user about channel layouts which does not have a matching channel count, and ignore them, instead of reporting an error.
The recent fix re-added support for overriding -channel_layout, but it rejected mismatching layouts. There is no easy way for the user to specify a channel layout only for streams with matching number of channels, so this patch restores the very old behaviour of ignoring mismatching layouts. See the discussion in ticket #11016.
