 From FLAC 1.2.1 documentation:

0000-0111 : (number of independent channels)-1. Where defined, the channel order follows SMPTE/ITU-R recommendations. The assignments are as follows:
1 channel: mono
2 channels: left, right
3 channels: left, right, center
4 channels: left, right, back left, back right

6 channels: left, right, center, LFE, back/surround left, back/surround right
7 channels: not defined
8 channels: not defined
