Argh!
Ls and Rs (should/must) have the same meaning and position in a "normal" 5.1 configuration:

Anyway: the one to be blamed most is Microsoft. Because of Sony, they included the stupid SDDS channels in the WFextensible spec, and because of Dolby, they intend to transform rear channels into side channels.
