| I wasn't talking about DVD-Video though.

DVD Video's audio tracks and DVD Audio are (or will be) mastered
more or less identically.

Hypothetically speaking, this is true.  In fact, there is a lot to be said
for 5.1ch steering.  Stereo puts the stage and the audience in front of
you, as if you were listening from the back row somewhere.  Full surround
steering allows the recording engineer to put the audience behind and
beside you and the stage in front as if you were front row center.
