I would still like tag support.

I'll have a play when I get home with .ac3 files in Foobar and Id3Tag
to see what those apps can do.

Could use .cue sheets to tag the .ac3/.dts files?  I don't like .cue
files though; painful to set up and manage.

A custom tag in .flac would be fine for me, or GENRE=multichannel (or
some other well-known configurable string).  Would other formats be
available as a wrapper, supporting the same custom tag?

Is it not possible for the scanner to look at some property of the
track content to discover if it is multi-channel, to avoid the need to
rely on a tag at all?  Nb. If I open a .ac3 or a multi-channel flac in
FooBar, the track properties shows the number of channels.

Would the files be decoded on the server, or player?  Supported by
TinySBS?

Downmixing to stereo for analog playback would be of great benefit too.
Assume this is server-side, thus rather than output both multi-channel
and stereo, would have to configure a player to either play direct or
downmix.  Would this be selectable from the player (eg in Audio
settings menu), or via server configuration (and thus harder for
TinySBS configuration).
