It has no multi-channel decorrelation only because I don't know how to do it and I haven't really been driven enough to investigate it or experiment. If anyone knows of some unpatented methods for it I don't mind putting it in. Josh P.S. I hope these home theater guys stop at 7.1 because FLAC only supports 8 channels per stream. It's like that Steve Martin skit, where he gets stereo, then quadrophonic (sounds better), then octophonic (sounds better), then googlephonic, but that sounds like shit so he gets a new needle for his turntable. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
