If receivers start to support MP3 Surround, it might be possible to
just wrap such a file in a WAV container (as we can do for AC3/

be that PCM data is forced to be stereo). That's just one receiver out

Finally, bear in mind that the database ID is subject to change on a

barcode (and creating your own for those without one). I've typed all

non-null value means "this is digital"). But I don't actually do
