I understand that, but again, SACD and DVD-A exist, and there will be continuation ation of those formats as well as SACD-2 and apparently MLP in the form of Dolby Digital Lossless. Given the increase in channel limitation from 5-6 (DVD-Audio) to (at least) 8 channels, how would you like to see those channels utilized? What sort of standard can we obtain? Can we achieve flexibility and standardization simultaneously?

One good example is this:

Quote
I would put a plug in for B+ or B++ format which consists of a 1st order B for ambience and a stereo or quad channels mixed to the speakers which will give much better localization to the B and also more detailed sound. It would require 6 or 8 tracks and will deliver one media which can be decoded into anythin from 1 to 16 or more speakers.
