[Vorbis] Does Ogg Vorbis support 5.1 surround?

[Franck Charlemagne]

Type oggenc -h, and you can see the option -C which permit to tell
oggenc how many channels you want (default : 2 channels, i.e stereo).
But I think you must put exactly the number of channels supported by
your 5.1 sound, elsewhere oggenc will tell you he can't encode (because
he can't read the source if the channel number is wrong).
So you have to look for 5.1 sound specs to know how many channels you
have to put in -C option.

And no doubt, Ogg Vorbis is the best format :o)

Good lucks,
Franck

Oh, ok, thank you! So, are you sure it can?  If so, is there any option
I have to set.  Or, will it recognize the multi-channel file and do it's
thing accordingly?

Thanks again.
