No? It seems worthwhile to me. If I want my music always encoded with an
average bitrate per channel of X, regardless of the number of channels, then
this is exactly what I want. Unless I'm doing streaming, and thus have to
worry about total bandwidth per client, then bandwidth per channel (which
correlates, roughly, with quality) is really more interesting than
aggregated bandwidth, don't you think?
