In the current state, Vorbis could be the premiere audio codec
for music pirates (as any codec out there..)
personally I have no interest in DivX, but I believe multichannel
multimedia will be more and more common tomorrow, not only
for movie audio, but also for the upcoming audio DVD..
letting Vorbis ready for discrete-channel encoding it can be only
a positive thing.
