Summary	0000526: Screamtracker channel pan jittering around
Description	Hi there, just noticed that the default channel pan on s3m files jumps around after saving and re-opening. Knew this for a while, but never had the urge to report it - mea culpa. Of course, this might be a (compatibility?) feature (not really fluent with Scream Tracker), but since I could not find any issues dealing with s3m pan here or an explanation in the help file, I thought it might just be... Wrong. :/ Greetings, kopper
Steps To Reproduce	Create a new s3m file. Change the initial pan on channels 1 to 4 to something random between 0 and 255. Save. Re-open. Watch the mess.
Tags	No tags attached.

Has the bug occurred in previous versions?	Yes

If you need to set up more precise panning, use the Xxx command (not supported by ST3 IIRC but then again, who writes S3Ms with panning and ST3 in mind at the same time...)
