3) 8-bit pan register (-127 full left, 127 full right)
I agree, that panning is useful.
Its certainly good to be able to put some voices in the center. But I feel that 8 bit panning volume is overkill and not needed for most cases. I would prefer have simpler HW panning support for the majority of cases.
As every channel has already a volume register you could also use another approach: you could stay with left and right channel but offer the possibility that a left and a right channel play the same data but thus with a different volume.
From the other side I would also like to see 5.1 and 7.1 support and this is possibly not compatible with just left and right channels ...
