SDF_PACKED only refers to data streams from commands, where ordinarily each 
sample corresponds to one channel in the command's chanlist.  With 
SDF_PACKED, each channel gets only one bit.  Although, there is padding at 
the end of a scan if needed, so the first channel in the chanlist always 
appears as bit 0 of a sample.
