Sorry about that. Is this one better?

commit 93d92eb5e98cacd8cab185a0bfdaafb795b14b22

    Add appropriate WAV channel masks for 7 and 8 channel files.
    
    This commit accepts the new default channel masks for 6.1 and 7.1
    surround input WAV files, and writes the corresponding masks when
    decoding to WAV without a channel mask from the metadata block.
    
    The local copy of the format spec is also updated with the new text
    from the flac-website repository.
