Sorry, I was mis-informed by the FAQ file (and I didn't catch the PER CHANNEL)  :

from : http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/faq.html

What is Vorbis?

      Ogg Vorbis is a fully Open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free general purpose compressed audio format for high quality
      (44.1-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, polyphonic) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel. This places Vorbis in
      the same class as audio representations including MPEG-1 audio layer 3, MPEG-4 audio (AAC and TwinVQ), and PAC.

My apologies! Come to DC (or to IETF 48) and I'll treat you to a Starbucks of your choice...
