A comment on the question "Can Songbird handle multi-channel audio?" in Songbird:

In principle, downmixing 5.1 to quad is straightforward. Mix the centre-front input equally into the left-front and right-front quad channels (this is called a phantom centre). If you have no subwoofer then mix the .1 LFE input equally into all four quad channels. However, I don't know of a songbird plugin that does this. – Martin, on September 10, 2009 16:31

Supporting surround/multi-channel would be a way for Songbird to differentiate itself. I can't understand why it is not on the roadmap.

I was actually suggesting that Daniel Raffel fix the link in his post to this question/thread. You have posted the correct link, which is almost as good. – Martin, on August 30, 2009 07:42

Can Songbird handle multi-channel audio?

Can Songbird handle multi-channel audio or is it just stereo? If just stereo, what parts would need to be hacked to add multi-channel support?
