Of course there is, depending on q level. For q > 5 lossy mode is disabled,
thats why from 4.99 to 5.0 there is a rather huge jump in bitrate. There are
vorbis encoder exe's around with experimental disabled ( non-lossy ) or
fully enabled ( lossy ) channel coupling, irrespective of q level, but i
guess those were RC 3, not 1.0.

However, based on those DarkAvenger had implemented selectable channel
coupling in HeadAC3he independant from q level, very helpful if a Dolby
ProLogic surround Stereo was to be encoded ( channel coupling disabled,
bitrates about 100 - 120 kbp/s at q = 2 - 3, sounds nice )

Uhh ! That old idea of mine .... storing more than one language in one big
multi channel track instaed of having several Stereo tracks. The idea was
abandoned, although i had proven here (
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22283&highlight=listening+
test ) that there is some saving to be expected.

Thats what i thought. But its not the recommended way to use Tobias's
filters for encoding in any case, bith DSPguru and DarkAvenger update their
tolls much more frequently.

<p>> I'm not sure if I should release such a patching-filter to the public. I

Agree here
