When this single stream is placed into its own native container, the result is called Native FLAC. When a FLAC stream is placed into an Ogg container, the result is called Ogg FLAC. An Ogg container can contain any number of streams, including multiple FLAC streams. Each FLAC stream can contain a maximum of eight channels. > Can the 8 channels be easily decoded in a web browser (as Google > Chrome) ?
