Originally posted by carewolf View PostIt doesn't support compression between sources more than stereo, and most importantly, in multi-channel mode it doesn't actually say what ANY of the channels actually are, making it mostly pointless.
Note, this is the exact same issue vorbis and many other formats has, there are work-arounds to it, such as just accepting the poor compression of compressing every channel separately, and just make assumptions such as 6 channels being dolby 5+1, but it is just work-arounds.

I know, but it is kind of sad. It is the last thing AAC and AC3 still have going for them that open source codecs have crushed.

How can I check mapping if I don't have a 5.1 sound system?

I've tried to encode 6 channel audio and looks like channel mapping is preserved.
