I believe that the only way to get proper 3D positioning of multichannel
sources is to manually decompose the stream byte-stream in 2 or more mono
sources and play them at the same time.
I guess that if you pause the context, start playback, and then un-pause
the context they might not lose sync, but I am not sure.
