That's something we hadn't thought of, it's a much better idea than
defining a new format. Thanks for the clue :-)

So each stereo Vorbis stream within the Ogg container could have a
comment such as:

STEM=Bass

Is that right? This would fix the problem of displaying mono labels
(such as Bass L and Bass R) in an application which plays stereo stems.

Cheers!
