contents In this contribution we present a novel, model-independent description of semileptonic $B\rightarrow D π\ell ν$ decays. In addition, we discuss recent developments in the understanding of coupled-channel $D π$-$D η$-$D_s K$ S-wave scattering and, for the first time, apply them to semileptonic decays. We not only obtain model-independent predictions for kinematic distributions in $B\rightarrow D π\ell ν$ decays, but also rule out the hypothesis that the gap between the inclusive $B\rightarrow X\ellν$ branching fraction and the sum over exclusive channels is made up predominantly by $B\rightarrow D^{(\ast)} η\ell ν$ decays.
