Sorry to reply to myself, but I found a copy of the Avia AAC audio test...
it is more accurate than the one above.  You can follow the links in the
first post on this page:  (note links to megaupload and you will be stuck
with a 45 second wait before you can download for free)

I am quite certain that these files are in violation of some copyright law
somewhere... use at your own risk.

Here is a table of my output:
Expected -  Actual
Center     -   Left
Left         -   Right
Right      -    Center
RR        -     no sound
LR         -     no sound
LFE       -     no sound
