With it you will get 6 distinct channels correctly processed and filtered so that you receive the following output: Channel 1: Left Front Channel 2: Right Front Channel 3: Center Channel 4: LFE Channel 5: Left Rear Channel 6: Right Rear Of course it is meaningless if you don't have a true stereo file to convert but theoretically you could route all your true stereo tracks via this script before playing them on your 5.1 surround sound system to enjoy a more enriched audio experience ;-) In my case I needed it to process over 30 hours of broadcast audio for a TV station in Malaysia. Scripting it with ecasound means I can process all 30 hours of audio content in 7 hours of runtime on my quad core, 8GB RAM Linux Workstation. -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
