Where the input sound is ac3, is using 6-channel vorbis really preferable to 
using high quality mono vorbis or not converting the sound at all (given the 
oposition in the ogg community to reencoding)?

Does ac3 use lossy channel coupling?

I imagine that the bass channel is encoded differently to the others. How is 
it encoded?
