Ok, so instead of completely ignoring CC10 for _LEFT and _RIGHT samples we 
would fallback to CC8? I would be fine with that as well.

These flags are directly read from the "struct sfSample" of the soundfont (see 
enum SFSampleLink), so this should work with any valid SF2.

It allows the SF2 designer to add stereo samples with pan values other than 
+-50. Please dont ask me where this could be useful ;)
