------- Comment #10 from Gabriel Bouvigne  2007-11-07 08:18 UTC -------
Regarding the "multichannel" mp3 files:
The ones available on all4mp3.com are not multichannel mp3 files, but "mp3
surround" files.
"mp3 surround" is not a standard, but a proprietary extension, without any
specifications publicly available.

The MPEG standard defines multichannel mp3, but this has never been used by any
encoder, and the only existing stream is synthetically made one within the MPEG
compliance test files.

IMHO, I would not count on MP3 multichannel or "surround" support.

MP2 multichannel is another matter, as this is part of the DVD specs, and thus
is really used.
