Please educate me on what problem this "multi channel audio support"
is trying to solve.

I have a very good surround sound preamp driving a 7.2 channel speaker
setup.  My preamp can decode any surround sound format other than the
new HD audio on Bluray or HD-DVD.  It does a very good job at routing
the appropriate sounds to the appropriate speakers.  When fed a Dolby
Digital 2.0 signal, it's ProLogic IIx decoder does an excellent job of
filling all 7.2 speakers with the appropriate audio cues.  When fed a
two channel stereo signal, it has a very good "music" mode which does
an excellent job at divvying up the sound amongst all seven speakers.

How does this "multi channel audio support" improve my situation?

Thank you,

John


P.S. Mark, I really like your contributions to Myth.  Please do not
take this is an attack.  I just want to make sure I am using the tools
correctly.
