No the other way around. Previously (with the driver as it is RFCed),
each speaker gets a single slot, and 'Left', 'Right' and ‘LeftRight'
values of the routing control don't do anything different from each
other (well except maybe 'LeftRight' lessens the volume due to how
the chip handles the edge case of mixing down two channels from the
same slot).

With the new arrangement I am proposing, the two speakers in a left-right
pair get both the same two slots, meaning they get to choose one of the
two slots based on the 'Left' 'Right' value of their routing control.
